[comp.mail.uucp] sending long break in chat script

garym@sugar.hackercorp.com (Gary Morris) (04/14/90)

I'm trying to setup a new uucp system and have run into a snag.  The
only phone lines we have in the building are digital and so a standard
modem can't be just plugged in.  We have dialout modems on the phone
switch and I have an adaptor box that allows the RS-232 from the
machine to talk to the modem.  The only problem is that to get the phone
switch to connect a modem to the line I must send a long break on the
line.  A "BREAK" in the chat script only gives a 1 second break.  Is 
there any way to send a long break (about 3 seconds)?
 
We are running Apollo Domain/IX 10.2 (BSD 4.2) with HDB UUCP.
