Steve, Hmmmm – I never noticed anything in the "SLIP" directory, nor a "nos-dial", but will try experimenting with that. Thanks for the insight. The PARAM command for non-TNC/KISS uses only allows a baud rate change – all other "commands" get ignored. Hopefully, the "nos-dial" file will take care of this. As far as I know, ALL communications programs drop DTR when you quit them, thus hanging up the connection, thus, AmigaNOS would come up with no prior connection, and since AmigaNOS grabs the serial.device in "exclusive" mode, ya can't bring up another program to "talk" to the modem whilst AmigaNOS is running. This is why finding a way to get AmigaNOS to talk to the modem is so important, but alas – it is not set up for that. Again, maybe the "nos-dial" file trick will work? I will have to try it and see. As a matter of fact, if you try to bring up AmigaNOS while someone else has the serial.device, AmigaNOS just blinks and promptly quits (selfish little booger!).
