I hate to be the bearer of bad news but v2.7.0 does not appear to work as intended. (Either that or my WiModem232 has some sort of defect)
Instead of screwing around with lake vintage computers I decided to hook up the WiModem232 to my Windows PC using HyperTerm and to my Mac via a USB-serial converter using Zterm. On the Mac, it's doubly convenient because I can put together a circular connection: I can run Zterm through the USB-serial converter, set ATS0=1 and then "dial" the WiModem232 via telnet on the same machine so that I can see what it's doing.
&Q2 doesn't seem to do anything.
Every terminal program that I've tried: Ascii Express, ProTerm, and HyperTerm on Windowsm, and now Zterm on modern hardware all drop DTR to hang up. My BBS software drops DTR to force a hangup. Even the null-modem drivers on ProTerm specifically say that a hangup command lowers DTR to cease communications with the remote host. The only way I have successfully hung up the modem is by using the +++ and ATH commands.
I have cut the traces between DSR and DTR, cut the traces between "out" and CTS, between "in" and RTS, and bridged "in" to DTR and "out" to DSR.
