I purchased a new modem cable a few days ago. I got a standard
IBM XT modem cable. I got a new one because my old one (serious cludge)
as getting worn out and it was acting up. Specifically, it wouldn't
hang up. I ould have to turn off the modem to get a dial tone back.
My new cable is doing the exact same thing. I suspect that this is
due to non-standard lines on the Amiga serial port. Does anyone have
any advice?

In general, if the modem can transmit and receive, it should have no problems at all (I am assuming a hayes compatible modem). Getting it to hang up is simply a matter of sending the Characters 'ATH' which are no different from any other characters the modem receives. If this is not working, I'd be more likely to suspect a relay or something of that sort. Internal to the modem, at any rate. Can anyone imagine how the situation would be otherwise? -- Mark Vange Phone Death Threats to: Vanguard Distributing (416) 730-1352 mark@xrtll 8 Everingham Ct.
