Our Library system makes use of AOS/VS modem support to clear network
calls made to consult our library catalogue. We use an IAC8 connected
to a PAD. When the users quits the catalogue the IAC drops DTR and the
PAD clears the call. 

Our problem is that the IAC8 doesn't raise DTR again to be ready for
the next caller for 10 seconds, although our software is ready to
open the line again after 2 seconds. During this time incoming calls
either fail or hang.

We have AOS/VS 7.60   I'm told that if we upgrade to the latest
version (7.67 ??) there are parameters that can be set that might
help us.

Can anyone advise whether this is correct or not ?
