We have two DEC Server 200/MCs that I am trying to make work with
non-DEC modems.  I would like to access them though our 8700 running VMS v4.7a
soon to run v5.1.  Having the for dial up works fine, but the dial-out is
the problem.  For some reason, about every 30 seconds, the DS200 is toggling
the modem status lines, including DTR.  This normally causes the modem to
hangup.  When I configure the modems to ignore DTR, they sometimes are able
to successfully dial out, but often get hosed up requiring a reset.
Ideally, I would like to be able to have 2400/1200 dial in/out capability.
Short of buying DEC-modems, does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
