- Here is a simple batch program which is just about as aggressive as you can get
- in plain DOS:
-
- rem clear modem settings as aggressively as is reasonable.
- rem by warren@borg.com 12/09/95
- rem Change to your port n @ each 'COMn' below
- mode COM3
- mode COM3: dtr=off
- Pause
- @echo ATH0 > COM3
- rem above sends HANGUP
- @echo AT&F > COM3
- rem above sends FACTORY RESET
- @echo ATdt5551234 > COM3
- pause
- rem above sends DialTone number
- @echo ATH0 > COM3
- @echo ATZ0 > COM3
- EXIT
