Sure. The device probing lowers DTR, thus hangs up the line. You need to make your local end independent of the DCD-faked-by-remote- DTR (e.g. by faking the DCD in a local loopback wiring, or making the port `clocal' if it's unix). If remote is a modem, you need to make the modem ignore DTR. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
