I'm using an AT clone and an Arnet Smartport card with 8 ports under Microport System V/AT using Microport's BNU (AKA HDB). The problem is when the modem's responses are turned on, I get (I believe it's called) a 'deadly embrace'. If the responses are turned off (via dipswitch) the port works fine as a dialup, but I can't get it to dial out ('cause of no responses). If I have the Dialers script turn on the responses, they will stay on unless the DTR drop at the uugetty respawn resets the modem to the 'dipswitch' mode. Thus, my question is: What modems will reset to the dipswitch (or EEPROM) parameters on a DTR drop? I have a MultiTech 224AH and a USR Courier 2400, neither of which do (I don't think). I'm planning on getting a couple of TrailBlazers, which I KNOW will do it, but I'd like to know what others will work, and maybe, what I can do (modifications) to make the ones I have work that way. Thanks. -- ------------- Remember: No matter how obnoxious it gets, you CANNOT execute a device!
