Hello netlanders.  I have a 2400 baud modem from Practical Peripherals;
it is really an OEM model of their brand name modem, but it is identical

Anyways, it has a problem: I was running Procomm Plus, and when I disconnected
from another computer, the bottom status line should say "OFF-LINE", but it
really says "ON-LINE".  I heard from several people and from a diagnostic
program that the: 1) Carrier detect has failed, and 2) The "modem may not
follow true state of DTR".

So if any one has suggestions to remedy this, I would appreciate it...

Thanks

Yung
