I have been using MultiTech 224E modems for a while now, and they have
one feature I have not really used even though I tested it.

Some of the programmers in my department do use the DTR dialing feature
so that when they turn on their terminal the modem starts dialing the
RIT dial in numbers.

The MT224E modems support optional class 5 MNP error correction and
data compression.

The feature you are looking for is called DTR dialing and when this is
turned on and stored, the modem will dial the number in slot "0" of
it's memory when ever it see's DTR go from a low to a high state.

Dialing can be aborted if you wish not to have it autodial in some
cases.

You should be able to find the MultiTech modems in various catalogs are
they are becomming quite popular now.

I have been getting real good prices from our local supplier of these modems
even though their list price is high.

PS by the way I did try to reply via mail, but mail was rejected.  I had
used the "r" command in "rn" I figured this info may be of use to others
so I am posting it now.
