- Before you do more troubleshooting, make sure you are using the latest
- controller firware. Use ATI3 to query your version. If you see anything
- older than 1.400, you better upgrade.
-
- log into any manufacturer's BBS that uses Rockwell chips on their product
- and download the latest firmware. You will either have to hage a flash on
- board or an ability to erase and burn the PROM (schools have such things).
-
- a host software change should not cause a disconnect. Furthermore, to the
- modem it does not really matter what software is on the terminal as long as
- both are set up properly. Try to set the modem to AT&D0 to make the modem
- disregard the drop of DTR, set both the terminal and modem to the same type
- of flow control (AT&K command).
-
- see what happens.
