Message-ID: <11543@gryphon.COM> Date: 1 Feb 89 23:40:14 GMT Sender: root@gryphon.COM Organization: People-Net [pnet02], Redondo Beach, CA. Lines: 16 I'm currently relying on the fact that I CAN lower/raise the DTR line via the CIA that is connected to the Serial port that is standard in the 500/1000/2000.. Is there a "Better" way to do the same thing that doesn't rely on the CIA or which port you might be using...?? Such as the "Default" or "built-in" or "1st extended" ports (as defined by Bryce Nesbit of C-A).. It would certainly be NICE to have a "pseudo" standardization... All I know is that if a modem is connected to ANY of these serial ports, it really does suck when the ONLY way to hang up the phone is by doing the "+++ ATH0 " junk! Dropping the DTR is a much more effective way of doing things.... =============================================================================== I Thought So...
