Modem Configuration
-------------------
I have a couple of modems on DTC ports on our 927LX. Everything works as
it should, except for one thing: when you log off while connected over a
modem, the carrier isn't dropped on the HP end; as a result the remote
modem doesn't hang up. This used to work just fine on our classic
system, but I can't figure out how to do it on the 927LX.
 
The HP LaserROM is very sketchy on the meanings of the modem fields in
NMMGR. (Sketchy overall, when it comes to NMMGR.)
 
Here's my remote dial-in modem configuration:
 
Line speed:   9600
Record Width:   80
Modem type:      1
Modem behavior:  1
Parity:          N
Speed sensing:   N
Reset HP term:   N
Harware shake:   N
 
Ruggedwriter
------------
On the same DTC, I have a Ruggedwriter connected. It's pretty
temperamental and unspools itself a lot. On the LaserROM I saw that on
the classic systems, you could use TTPCL26 as a term-type, which was
best suited to the Ruggedwriter. The 927LX has no term-type files in
pub.sys. It looks like you have to roll your own with TTUTIL. Before I
wade into those murky waters, I'd like to hear from anybody who has a
well-connected Ruggedwriter.
 
Thanks in advance,
