- Does anyone know what the external Sportster 28.8/33.6 does to inform
- its host that a call is incoming?
-
- I would expect something on the CD line, but the modem seems to require
- DTR in order to answer in the first place, kind of a chicken-egg
- problem if you're trying to notify a Unix GETTY process.
-
- I just swapped out a T2500 that worked fine like this.

- Thanks,
