Message-ID: <C7z2M9.H4y@csi.compuserve.com> Organization: CompuServe Incorporated Date: Wed, 2 Jun 1993 02:22:57 GMT Lines: 21 What's the correct way to initiate a SLIP connection to a remote host? The problem I am having is that as soon as I issue the slattach command, my comm port drops DTR which causes my modem to hang up. (I have my modem set to hang up if DTR drops -- AT&D3 on my Practical Peripherals 14400) If I tell the modem to not hang up when DTR is dropped (AT&D0), the modem will not transmit or receive data after DTR is dropped. For the record, here's how I attempt to connect: tip -38400 com1 <Dial phone, log into remote> ~^Z <suspend tip> slattach -s 38400 com1 Is this the correct way to do it, or am I missing something? -- Sam Neely, CompuServe Incorporated +1 614 538 3718 (voice) 5000 Arlington Centre Blvd, Columbus, OH 43220 +1 614 457 0348 (FAX) Electronic Mail: InfoPlex: >CSI:SAM Internet: sam@csi.compuserve.com To err is human, to forgive is against company policy
