Ok - hopefully someone out there can help me...  This is something that
I don't know how to do in basic and the only other language I have any
knowledge of is C - and that is only a LITTLE bit - therefore, I can't
do it myself until I learn more C...  So, since I need it now, here I go...

I need to know how I can FORCE the modem to drop it's carrier (hang up).
I don't mean something like sending +++ to it - because that can create
problems if the other end is sending data constantly (it doesn't get
a long enough pause - even if I set the pause value WAY down.)  How does
ProTerm do it?   I'm using a Courier HST from the modem port on my GS.
If someone can write it in assembly in a little program I can execute -
or knows how to do it in basic - or has other suggestions, please let
me know!   Thanks...
