RE: [cobalt-users] Modem control

["Neil J. Kemp" <neil@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I haven't got a Qube to try this on, but you should just be able to output
to the relevant com port:

(at the prompt)

echo "ATZ" > /dev/ttyS0

Where ATZ is the command to send

ttyS0 = com1, ttyS1 = com2, etc

If that fails, try the older:

/dev/cua0 and /dev/cua1 etc. (cua0 = com1, cua1 = com2)

My Qube2 is rather badly behaved and more often than not often
will not reset the modem if it is turned off at the switch.
Is there any way to send commands directly to a modem without
using a terminal program? Perhaps using a simple shell script or
something of the like?
Or even better is there some way to reduce the time out on the dial
on demand connection so that users are not tempted to turn it off
at the switch.
