I think the Avatex will disconnect if you drop Data Terminal Ready.  This can
be done in software so need not be manual.  However it cannot be done by
typing on the keyboard while on-line, as I presume can be done with a real
$350.00 Hayes.  The Avatex will also drop back to command mode if you lose the
carrier, which is the most usual occurrence when you log out of your host
system.

On the other hand, if anybody should be sending binary files or encrypted
text, they might find their Hayes not the best choice for the very reason that
there are data strings that will dump it back into command mode.

All in all, I remain VERY pleased with the performance of my Avatex,
especially considering the price of $80.00 that I paid for it.
