How do you drop the carrier from within FLASH?
After I've logged off a BBS or Compuserve, I can't
figure out to drop the line other than powering
down the modem. There must be a better way, but
I can't find it in the manual.

Dropping the carrier is simple. Use the ESCAPE sequences for your modem.
If your modem is a Hayes, or compatable, use the +++ escape command then
do a ath0. Drops the carrier pronto.
You can program one of your function keys to do this for you, with the proper
commands. I have mine in the F10 spot. Then when I log off GEnie, Delphi etc,
I hit the F10, and the modem hangs up.
Your escape sequences may be different, if your modem is not hayes compatable
OR if you happen to be using a Avatex ( Non-hc version ) which would then
want *all the commands in upper case.

Also, if you are using versions of Flash at or above 1.12 you are able to drop carrier simply by using the 'HG' command which will accomplish the same as the above. And, as Rich suggests, putting this command in one of the function keys will make dropping the carrier a, well, er....a Flash?

I think this is a question about the Modem, and not about the communications program... Maybe you could try 1) type "+++" (without RETURN ) 2) wait a few seconds for the "OK" to appear, and 3) then type "ATH" and RETURN to tell the modem to hang up. This sequence works with Hayes and so-called "Hayes compatible" modems. -- L. J.

On my version of Flash (1.12, I believe) I just set an FKey to do the
command 'hg' which drops DTR and should hangup any modem set to respond to
that (even non-Hayes compatible).
I'm sure that command will remain in the new version, or even be given an
ALT assignment...

If your modem is Hayes compatable (and most are), set up a function key to access a .DO file which would consist of: . +++ (three Pluses, no Return) then ATH(CR) (offhook command, followed by a Return) OR enter the same sequence from your keyboard.

Try the HG command. It makes the Modem Ready line low, so that the modem hangs up.

well, i never saw the original question, but i will offer what i think is an answer to this situation. (i had the same problem and it drove me nutty). this only works on a hayes (and maybe hayes compatible) modem... Flash has a command that is only documented in a file on the distribution disk (i think it was added too late to go in the manual -- i'm speaking about the pre-1.5 release). This command is HG (HanGup modem) which works by droping DTR for a few seconds. Ok, (as i found out the hard way) this only works if the modem has dip switch 1 (i think) set so that the modem will recognize that the DTR signal coming from the computer (i think this is up). I recommend looking on your FLASH disk and in you modem reference manual to determine if this is correct (especially, if you have a slightly different system). Also, i have version 1.12 of FLASH, so this command may not be present in earlier versions. -chip ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chip Roberson ARPANET: csrobe@icase.arpa 1105 London Company Way BITNET: $csrobe@wmmvs.bitnet Williamsburg, VA 23185 UUCP: ...!uunet!pyrdc!gmu90x!wmcs!csrobe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- *(*please note change in UUCP address ^^^^^^^^^^^ seismo is gone*)*
