I don't know if I'm being thick or not, but I have spent a substantial part of this evening fiddling with this CLOCAL setup (\M \m) using my generic hayes comp. 2400 modem and I can't seem to get it to work quite right. I can get it to work as long as CD is high when I go to access the modem. I can bring it down after doing a \M and it works fine. But, if CD is not high after it locks the device it fails and moves on to the next one. My question is: Is there some way to toggle CLOCAL in the devices file or something so that I don't have to have CD forced initially?? I would like to be able to use this modem bidirectionally, but with CD forced, when the remote modem hangs up without logging out, that shell is given to the next person who just happens to dial up!! :-( Any suggestions??? I have fiddled with this particular problem on numerous occassions over the past year or two with no success. Thanx!!
