Ok.  I happen to be hooked in through a Telebit right now.  Let's see
what happens.  Just a second please ...

Ok.  I thought so ...  I went back and forth without problems.  HOWEVER,
I had experienced a problem like that before with the Telebit.  If I'd
popped to the modem's command level and issued a command to the remote
modem using AT%something, then the remote modem would sort-of be in
it's command mode.  To get connected back correctly I had to say "at%o"
before saying "ato".

Do the V-series modems have something like this?

Ok.  I can get it to repeat with "at%&r", after doing that I do "ato"
and can't do anything.  "+++" then to "AT%o" then "ato" and all the
control-r's I'd done the first time I'd gone back happen plus the
one I typed the second time I'd gone back.

If you want to know details of the telebit configuration, send me mail.
