I'm using X.00 v 124 for a communications program and up till now everything
looked good.  I can communicate through the port fine.  Now I have a problem.

According to the documentation all I need to do to toggle DTR is (in C)

regs.h.ah = 6; //(DTR status)
regs.l.al = 0; //(or 1 for UP but I'm trying to get it down)
regs.x.dx = 0; //(COM 1)
X00(&regs, &regs);

Seems simple enough, but nothing happens.  DTR stays up.

I'm using a Multitech MultiModem V.32 attached to an IBM PS/2 80.
No, my modem's DTR toggle switch is not on "DTR always up".

My config.sys file reads  DEVICE=C:\X00.SYS E F=15 R=1024

If anyone has any ideas, please send me E-mail soonest.  Thanks in advance
for your assistance.
