Re: Initialising modems

Thanks to Ted for his explanation.

I can't generate the escape character for the telnet session here (german
keyboard) but closing the session from the terminal emulation program on
my PC seemed to do the trick ;-)

Thanks to Garry for the pointer to the Livingston document. I couldn't
find anything of that nature in my Cayman handbook (January 1994)

Maybe the possibility to talk directly to a port is what I am looking for
to solve this customer request? He wants to dial-out from his PC LAN using
a modem pool. He wants to reach for example Compuserve using CIS. Is there
any software to transparently capture COMx requests and convert into a telnet
session? We would install a Portmaster at his location for that, of course.

Another thing I wanted to do was use a Portmaster as a dial-in/-out pool for
SCO Unix. The host device support isn't available for SCO, but maybe you
experienced people out there know how to get around that hurdle or point me
to a supported Intel-PC platform that can handle my software that presently
runs (well at least crawls up to 9,600 bps even with 16550s) on SCO?

Thanks very much for all your help, I really appreciate it.

Regards,

Phil
