[comp.unix.xenix] PARADYNE FDX 2400/ARK 24K dialer

I need to use a Paradyne FDX 2400/ARK 24K (same thing) as a bi-directional
modem.  First I need to get dialing to work, right?  The dialers I have
do not work reliably; they seem to put the modem into strange modes in
which it is autistic.  If anyone has worked out a dialer for these
modems, please send me a copy of the dialer.c code.

On the other hand, as dial-in modems these solve a problem.  The modem
(in Paradyne mode) handles the baud rate switching and the host port can
be left at 2400.  The modem has been very reliable in this service for
about 1 1/2 years.  They are MUCH better made than the 2400 cheapies now
available (I have one such, an InComm 2400 which required power supply
surgery before it would work for more than 15 minutes at a time).
