Summary: I think there might be a bug in the online return (ATO)


<< can't go back on line after command escape>>

I've had my Telebit do the same thing.  Type +++, do some modem
command at your end, then ATO {return} to go back.  Now, wait
forever.

I think ATO is acting more like ATDT.  It wants to hear a dial
tone, ringing, then carrier.  ATO really ought to so straight away
to trying to sync with the carrier from the other end.

I have run into this problem when I have to originate a call from
my Trailblazer which I dialed by hand to get to the modem extension
through a human PBX operater.  On a Hayes, you can ATO and it will
work.

The solution is to pick a mode in the Telebit setup that forgoes
call progress detection.  I haven't tried this yet, but I think
that will do the trick.
