[comp.os.msdos.misc] Comm program to talk directly to modem registers

usenet@nlm.nih.gov (usenet news poster) (12/19/90)

	I accidentally reset my modem to factory settings (not sure exactly
how). I need a COMM package that will talk directly to the modem prior
to the ATDT, and allow me to execute an AT&V to see what the current
settings are, and an AT...whatever...&W to set them back to what they
need to be. However, Crosstalk and Kermit seem to filter out these
directives.  Can anybody suggest a comm program with a little less
discreteness.

My own RBcomm doesn't care what you type to the modem either before or after
dialing.  Available on SIMTEL20 as PD1:<MSDOS.MODEM>RBCOMM32.ZIP or CS.CMU.EDU
in /afs/cs/user/ralf/pub (change *directly* there) as rbcomm32.zip.
