I am posting this query for a friend ... please excuse if the jargon is inappropriate ... We are looking for a program in MACRO to drop DTR on tty lines for two seconds and then raise it again. The reason we are looking is that we have been having problems with people using modems who do a disconnect before logging out, and the system leaves their login connected to the modem line for the next person who uses it (i.e. the next person who uses the modem gets the previous users login session). Replies by mail please, unless you think this problem is of general enough interest to splash all over the net. Thanks in advance, jas - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - John Shepherd Department of Computer Science, University of Melbourne, CSNET: jas%mulga.oz@australia Parkville, 3052, ARPA: jas%mulga.oz@seismo.css.gov AUSTRALIA UUCP: ...!munnari!mulga!jas

If the modem is directly connected to your VAX you could try this instead: 1) Connection to the modem and the VAX VAX MODEM 2 ------------- 2 3 ------------- 3 5 ------------- 5 6 ------------- 6 7 ------------- 7 8 ------------- 8 20 ------------ 20 22 ------------ 22 2) Add this line to your SYSTARTUP.COM or whatever file you wish that defines the ports when the system starts (or it can be issued from a priviledged account): SET TERMINAL unit /PERM/MODEM/HANGUP/SECURE/DIALUP where unit is the port id of the of where the modem is connected to. You could also add a /SPEED=baud rate if you wish. 3) The above works on a VAX 8200 with DH-11 and a Hayes smartmodem 1200. Please let me know if this works for you or not. Helen Rapozo
