      NA> On 11 Jan 17 11:23:17, Roger Nelson said the following to Nick Andre:               [...]               NA>RN> NA> KEE numbers to crash upon connection. I'm not sure if the modem       NA>RN> NA> would be disconnected ;)               NA>RN> If D'Bridge crashed, which I now remember that it would under that       NA>RN> circumstance, wouldn't the modem be disconnected automatically?               NA> Not necessarily. A system crash, or more specifically a DOS program that       NA> just decides to give-up... does not automatically drop the carrier signal       NA> on a COM port unless its told to do so or a hard-reset is done.               It just seems to me that if the program that was using the modem crashed,       there would no reason for the modem to continue the carrier.               NA> I have an archive of the source code for 1.60 I believe, I can take a       NA> look.               If you want to, but not necessary for me.                       Regards,               Roger              --- DB 3.99 + W10 (1607)        * Origin: NCS BBS - Houma, LoUiSiAna (1:3828/7)    |
