Unfortunatley Hayes 1200 modems *won't* hang up if you are in command mode and and drop DTR. You first have to frob the modem to insure it is on line (eg. send the hayes the "AT <go-online-command>", do a suitably long sleep to allow the modem to get this and act upon it, and finally turn off the DTR.) This problem is actually likely to occur if users use tip(1) or kermit to get a connection to the raw hayes modem, and dial the phone number themselves with the hayes "AT" commands. -wolfgang Wolfgang Rupprecht UUCP: mirror!mit-mgm!wolfgang ARPA: wolfgang@mgm.mit.edu (IP addr 18.82.0.114)

Here is a little niftyness from the people who tried to bring you the UNIX-PC [and failed for the most part] In SVR3.1.1 for our system they have added two switch codes to the possibilities for a Dialers script. \M Set CLOCAL \m unset CLOCAL you take you auto-dialing modem and set it to only pass CD when there is carrier. you then dial by: set CLOCAL dial the number when you get the answered unset CLOCAL this effectively makes 2-way hayes compatible modems possible.
