:of a serial device will NOT drop DTR. Doing instead: : :CloseDevice(..); :Delay(50L); :OpenDevice(..); : :will ALWAYS drop the DTR line. This is all from "empirical" results :using the built-in serial device. I have NEVER been able to have the :DTR line dropped on ANY of my modems WHITHOUT the 1 sec. delay. Also, remember that you must make an SDCMD_SETPARAMS call after reopenning the serial.device to get back whatever your old serial modes were. I always have an auxillary IOExtSer structure with the modes I want. Remember to specify a dummy request in the OpenDevice() (as opposed to the aux structure which has your original modes) because the serial.device will overwrite it with the default prefs params. Most people already know that you cannot do the SDCMD_SETPARAMS call if there are outstanding requests. In my opinion, this is stupid, but that is the way it goes! -Matt
