I've been poking around some more with the WiModem232 and I have a few questions regarding disconnection.
The first issue is how it is handling remote hangups. That is, when the WiModem232 is set to answer calls and a call is established from a remote source (in this case it was from a telnet client) it will answer the call successfully returning the code 2 for "RING" and 1 for "CONNECT" and a connection is established.
However, there are issues when the remote client disconnects.
The WiModem232 doesn't always know that the remote client has disconnected and happily sits there with its green LED lit.
Is there a way to firm up this behaviour?
I am also looking for a way to inform the DTE (the computer) that the DCE (the WiModem232) that it has disconnected the call. Normally this is the CD signal, but the Apple IIc lacks a CD pin (as does ADMIN's Laser-128) so in those cases the modem ought to drop the DSR signal to let BBS software know that the connection has been lost.
The Hayes reference manual's command would be AT&S0, but this does not appear in the WiModem manual.
Is the jumpered version of the bottom connections on page 20 the way to accomplish this?
