I experienced this problem while getting SLIP to work on my system. All I had to do is issue a AT&C0 What this does is tell the modem to assume the presence of carrier detect. This can cause other problems like forcing YOU to manually hang up the modem after you are done with your PPP conection. I just have a script call up kermit & have it hang up the modem w/ ATH. One other thing you may have to do is send a AT&D0 so that when you exit kermit the modem does not hangup the line as mine did. I hope this helps somewhat. if not email me & I'll try to help figure out what else might work. --------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ EMAIL ------ Ty Hoeffer pth3k@galen.med.virginia.edu Telecom Support Network Analyst pth3k@dmt03.mcc.virginia.edu UVa Hospital Pc Support / Lan Group Medical Center Computing ---------------------------------------------------------------------
