When we installed Sytek gear at Tektronix, we soon noticed some log-on/log-off problems, both with the PCU and muxes. The problem was traced to DTR/DCD troubles, primarily when connecting these devices to other DCEs. Our solution was to make a small ECB which passed through most of the RS-232 lines, but toggled DTR in either direction. It works well with modems,etc. The card is rack-mountable, and costs about $50.00 in small quantities. If you would like more details, let me know. If I get 10 or more responses, I'll post the info on the net. Norm tektronix!tekred!normb
