Has anyone else had this problem? I'd like to be able to use the address stack's "autodial" feature, since I have a modem conveniently connected to my mac, and I like how smart it is about dealing with exchanges and area codes, but it has one fatal flaw: It drops DTR on the serial port before the modem has finished dialing. This causes the modem to abort. I could set the DIP switch on my modem which causes it to ignore DTR, but I am not willing to sacrifice this feature; I like being able to hang up by dropping DTR. Does anyone know if this problem has been fixed, or if there is a way to patch it? ----- Jim Elliott "Like a bridge he'll come between us, not a wall" elliott@netserv2.its.rpi.edu

Your modem should also have some sort of way for you to set
the "Ignore DTR" mode with an "AT" command. On my modem, a
Hayes-compatible Practical Peripherals PM2400SA, the command to
ignore dtr is "AT&D0," which translates to the following command
in Hypertalk:
dial "1-408-555-1212" with modem "AT&D0DT"
The line will send the modem the command to tone-dial the number
and ignore DTR. If the above command fails, check yuor modem's
manual for a similar string. Perhaps one of the S registers will
meet your needs.
