Msg 46041 is 14 line(s) on 01/23/93 from ANDY SHAPIRO to ROY LIPSCOMB re: R/RE: MODEM PROBLEM I've had this same problem when using a generic 2400 baud internal modem. I have it on COM4, and sometimes the port doesn't get 'turned on,' and I have to stomp on it (that is, hang up). I don't know why this happens, but it sounds like you may have the same situation. Now - I seem to recall that serial ports use a lot of juice, and it may be the case that your laptop likes to keep them shut down until it really needs them. Maybe, then, the problem is not with the modem, but with the port? The way I got around this was to use a little PD utility called ATSEND. I have it send out the initialization string when the machine boots (in autoexec.bat), and that solves the problem. Hmmmm.can't think of anything else.

Thank you, James Schmidt Msg 46043 is 08 line(s) on 01/27/93 from MICHAEL SHARTIAG to AL HIGGINS re: R/HEARD OF ASC SYSTEMS Thanks to all for the info on ASC SYSTEMS. I was able to find them. There are actually 2 companies using ASC in their names. These boxes were used in the early 80's by trading houses to display stock & financial data on 5 monitors with DTMF keyboards which allowed the user to key in which screen to display. Data came in via serial port. Can anyone think of a useful purpose for this or am I looking at some scrap metal and a re-usable case ?? Msg 46044 is 07 line(s) on 01/28/93 from ROY LIPSCOMB to ANY SHAPIRO re: RE: MODEM PROBLEM I've had the problem with the modem while using it on a desktop (IBM AT). Also, I've tried sending intitalization strings via the ECHO command in AUTOEXEC.BAT and/or just before invoking Procomm, to no avail. Do you happen to know how to toggle DTR on/off in software? I'd like to give that a try. Thanks for your response. Msg 46045 is 07 line(s) on 01/29/93 from ANDY SHAPIRO to ROY LIPSCOMB re: R/RE: MODEM PROBLEM There are a couple of PD programs that will do that, but it seems more likely that for some reason the port just isn't set up. I'd check out the MODEM subdirectory on SIMTEL20 (assuming that you have access to the internet). Somebody there has to have access - maybe through Randy's UNIX system?? dup. chars. >Function:?
