Help me people, I have an ATI 2400etc. Modem (MNP5, v.42, INTERNAL). Whenever I do by mistake (or not) ^S when i am in a terminal mode on any comm program (currently using Telix). The modem get stuck and only ^Q releases it. How do I get over this? Isn't there some trivial string that will release it? Thanks, Michael M.

Note that if the computer at either end can't respond fast enough to incoming characters, some may be lost if you use no flow control. You should use hardware (RTS/CTS) flow control if your system/comm package supports it. Also note that some comm packages/terminal emulation packages may do their own XON/XOFF handling, so you need to set it up to turn it off there also.
