I suggest you check the cabling between the DTC port and the modem. The 25 pin DTC port does not have an RS232 profile as the DTC expects DCD on pin 4 and outputs RTS on pin 8; so if you've used a straight cable to connect the port to the modem, you may be inadvertently strapping DCD high. The recommended cable for connecting a DTC port to a modem is HP40233A. : Ruggedwriter : ------------ : On the same DTC, I have a Ruggedwriter connected.

Before I : wade into those murky waters, I'd like to hear from anybody who has a : well-connected Ruggedwriter. : Thanks in advance, : Harry Weide : Computer Systems Manager : Canadian Opera Company I've supported customers who have connected Ruggedwriters to the DTC and don't remember any particular problems. However, there are many reasons why the host will stop spooling a serial printer. You might want to check with the local HP office that you have the latest DTS and DTC patches.
