What you want to do is to toggle 'your' terminal ready
bit. This will drop the line at your end and cause the
terminal to be disconnected. There is not a character
sequence that you can send. You will have to do it with
PEEK/POKE on you end, if that is how you get access to
the modem control register on the TRS-80.

Their is no code that will universally disconnect a calling
terminal.  The best you can do is disconnect your end for 10 or
20 seconds and hope that the phone system makes the other guy go
away.

      i am writing a buasic program to operate my trs-80
as a bulletin board service. i have everything working
pretty good so far. but i need to know what ascii code
to send to the calling terminal to cause it to disconnect
the phone line.
      does anyone have any ideas ??

p.s. the program is entirely in basic so the code will
have to be sent in the form -----> print chr$(  )  .

you have to toggle the Terminal Ready lead on the modem
to cause the modem to drop carrier. This can be done by
PEEK/POKE the modem control register.
