902.0. "Automatic hang-up ?" by PUERTO::ALVAREZ (Miguel,from sunny Puerto Rico) Mon Nov 16 1987 07:56

    	With the recent uploads of large files, I've found myself trying
    to answer the following question, but haven't found a good answer
    yet:
    
    How can I automatically hang-up the modem, so my phone line
    is free if someone wants to call ? 
    
    	I've figured out how to automatically log into my VAX account, transfer
    the file(s) to my AMIGA and logoff. But how do I hang-up ? I have
    VT100 R2.7 and the latest SMOKEY, but they don't have this feature
    implemented. Reading the User's Manual for my DF112 doesn't help
    either.
    
    	How do you do it ? (If it can be done)
    
    Thanks for your help.

902.1depends on modemMTBLUE::PFISTER_ROBAre we having fun yet?Mon Nov 16 1987 08:2813
    I think that would depend on your modem, my old Avatex 1200 had
    a switch setting on the back to control DTR?? to drop the line when
    the same line on the serial port was dropped.  I used to have this
    switch set so I could reboot my machine without terminating my remote
    session. Of course this modem defaulted to Auto-Answer when it hung
    up, so that's not much use for you.
    
    Other more hayes-compatable modems can escape to local mode "+++", then
    an ATH will hangup the phone. This would be how I'd attempt it.
    I wish I could be more specific, but the lack of a serial port prevents
    me from trying it.
