1) Several people mentioned Alt-F4. I knew about this, it works just fine but sometimes I need to use the memory that Procomm is using. 2) Several people mentioned Alt-X. This was exactly what my problem was, appa rently their modem was set differently than mine (see below). Alt-X always hung up the line, for me. 3) Several people mentioned strapping DTR, with special cables, or with the modem dip switches. I did exactly that (the dip switch), and it now works fine. One problem with ignoring DTR is that I could turn off my PC and forget that I am still logged on, oh well nothings perfect. 4) One person mentioned NOPing (??) the OUT command within Procomm that is dropping DTR. This is tempting, it would put me in a position of being version dependent, though. A new question: Does Procomm Plus address the problem? Thanks for all the help. Bob Stockwell pacbell!ptsfa!res

If you strapped your PC rather than your modem, DTR would definitely
be dropped when you shut off your PC. Then your modem would hang
up if it is strapped to pay attention to DTR. You may prefer this
solution.
