Works fine for me. I'm using a Hayes Smartmodem 2400 and I have it programmed to respond to DTR. When you ESC from the dialing sequence DTR is dropped and I think it also sends the hangup sequence you specified in SETUP (note: when you use ALT-H when in terminal mode it will drop DTR and check for CD. IF CD is still present it will then send the hangup sequence). If you have your modem ignore DTR and you don't have a hangup string specified then your modem won't disconnect. Of course this is all covered in the manual. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jim Champeaux jvc@mirror.TMC.COM {mit-eddie, ihnp4, wjh12, cca, cbosgd, seismo}!mirror!jvc Mirror Systems, 2067 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, MA 02140 Telephone: (617) 661-0777
