If you're about BB1008, the problem, I believe, is in the board design itself -- its connectors are RJ12, which only allow for 6 pins used for TX, RX, CTS, RTS and two grounds. Neither DTR nor DCD just didn't fit, as you see. You may, perhaps, configure your modems to ignore DTR state and use 'stty clocal' to ask system to ignore DCD, but I'm afraid that this may lead you to some other problems. The better solution, I believe, would be to use another board. -- Sincerely yours /&rew *** Andrew V.
