[comp.dcom.modems] modem with timeout

louk@tslwat.UUCP (Lou Kates) (03/06/90)

We have a modem interfaced to an internal network.  Unfortunately
the network does not timeout and hangup the phone if you don't exit nicely.
As a result someone in our firm just made a long distance phone call that
lasted for a week!  Does anyone know of a (at least) 2400 bps modem that has 
the ability to timeout after a certain period of inactivity and hangup the 
phone line?  Our other modems are connected to computers which provide the
timeout but we can't get the network to provide the timeout so we are hoping
to find a modem that can do it itself.
