At up to 9600 bps. | TTA2: on a VS3100 also has DSR/DTR signalling. Well, I'll be. Learn something new every month. I've always thought that neither MMJ had DSR/DTR, only RX, TX, GND. TTA3: keeps DTR high. Guess maybe there WAS a reason that TTA3 had a printer icon while TTA2 had the two arrows. |PPP with Multinet 4.0A on TTA2: raises DTR when a MULTINET SET/INTERFACE PPP0 |/DYNAMIC/LINK=PPP/VMS_DEVICE=TTA2: is done, and drops DTR (hanging up the |modem if properly configured) when a /DOWN is down. However, the |IP_PPP3040 patch stops this from working. Hm. The pre-ECO PPPs, in my experience, tended to DROP DTR when you did the SET/INTERFACE/DYNAMIC, which proved to be generally harmful. It's not clear to me that you WANT to have this command manipulate DTR - my intuition of its semantics is that it controls whether the PPP discipline is being employed over the serial link, not whether the link itself should be brought up or down. If there's an operational reason why SET/INTERFACE/DYNAMIC *should* manipulate DTR, then I'd like to hear about it, and maybe we could work it into how the command works.
