In a recent INFO-MAC, I mentioned that I had a desk accessory that
kept the new Mac+ serial driver from negating DTR the next time it was
closed. I've had some requests for it, so here it is.
This is useful when, for instance, you just want to quit a terminal
program for a short period of time without the modem hanging up.
To use it, just select it inside your favorite terminal program.
It only works for the next time the driver is closed, so you'll have to
select it each time you want to quit the program and not hang up during
a modem session.
This version is assembled to use the modem port. To use it with
the printer port you can re-assemble it (making the obvious change to
the source). A skilled ResEdit or FEdit user can find the -7 in the
code and change it to a -9, without needing to re-assemble it.
I've tested it on a Mac+ and a 128K (that's RAM, not ROM) Mac.
(It faithfully beeped on the 128K Mac.)
The source is being posted to mod.mac.sources. Here is the .hqx
