We have a 33K modem which will not dial unless you first give it a 
separate ATH1 command to go offhook.  I added this at the end of 
eznet.conf (something like 0 init1 ath1) and now it automatically goes 
offhook and dials.  I was able to do something similar in the kermit 
dialing script (add a couple of extra lines - output ath1  followed by 
pause - apparently the pause is what is causing the original problem with 
this modem).

But it also won't hang up as usual - Kermit ha (hangup) does not work and 
I have to issue an ATH0.  How would I automate the hangup in kermit (in 
the script?) and with ppp-off, or is this not possible and do I have to do 
something like cat ath0 > ttyS1?

I should probably ask Kermit support about kermit.


We have three other 33K modems with their own problems.  Two of them need
to get an ATH0  signal BEFORE they will dial (onhook) in DOS, but they 
work find in Windows.  This is inconvenient if you have more than one 
person using the phone line and set it up to do ATH0 in autoexec.bat 
because it disconnects anyone on the phone.  Cirrus.  I ought to put this 
in the Kermit dialing script for DOS and linux and in eznet.conf for 
linux.  At least this one hangs up properly.

The fourth one is not yet diagnosed but it dials in one computer and not 
another.  Any ideas?
