I want to dial in to my ISP, initiate PPP, then go back to modem's
command mode to query the modem using ATI6.
I was able to dial in, start pppd using !pppd (options) &, then when I
want to connect back to the modem, C-kermit gives an error message
"Sorry, Can't condition communication line".
Is there a way to talk to the modem's command mode while PPP is running?
Also, I'm thinking of stopping PPP before escaping to the command mode
(e.g. +++) for the modem to understand the escape chars (before issuing
ATI6), then re-establish PPP for the IP stuff. Is this the right way
of getting modem stats without disconnecting the link?
Thanks in advance for any help.
