I thought I saw some press on this a while back, but I ignored it. Now, all of a sudden, I'm having problems. Can anyone give some help? Problem: I have an AT&T 6386 WGS running CTRM 2.1.1 connecting to unix systems via Datakit VCS. When I run ctrm first thing in the morning, it hangs and says "waiting for clear to send". To make it work, I disconnect the line and reconnect it from the wall (or the back of the PC). But, if I quit ctrm and start ctrm again, it comes up with no problem. Also, if I reboot, ctrm works fine. And most of the time, I can shut the machine off and restart and ctrm will work fine. My problem is usually only the first time that I turn the machine on in the morning. After breaking/making the rs232 connection, it works fine for the rest of the day. This is very bothersome, and also strange, since I had not had this problem for over 10 months, running the exact same configuration. I recall seeing something similar posted on the net before. Perhaps if someone had similar problems and a good solution, they could help. Thanks. -joe belot att!pierce!belot
