Syntax: WAIT { number-of-seconds, hh:mm:ss } [modem-signal(s)]
Examples:
wait 5 cd cts
wait 23:59:59 cd
Waits up to the given number of seconds or the given time of day for all
the specified modem signals to appear on the serial communication device.
Sets FAILURE if the signals do not appear in the given time or interrupted
from the keyboard during the waiting period. Also see HELP PAUSE.
Signals:
cd = Carrier Detect;
dsr = Dataset Ready;
cts = Clear To Send;
ri = Ring Indicate.
However, if Carrier-Watch is ON and you are using INPUT commands the INPUT
command will fail if Carrier-Detect has dropped assuming there is no
data waiting to be read. Under what circumstances do you find that
carrier-detect is not being noticed?
What version of C-kermit are you using and on which operating system
and version?
