- You seem to think that if you repeat this bogus claim frequently enough that

- (At least I think it was you who did it some days ago).
-
- The "send" command in PPP dialscripts automatically appends a ^M (ASCII
- 13) to the argument string before sending it to the serial port.
- Therefore, the modem receives a ^M after the ATZ command, which is what
- most (all?) modems use to recognize the end of a command line. If they
- didn't, they wouldn't understand a press on the RETURN key, either.
- There's no way the modem can tell that the command came from PPP's
- dialer and not from the keyboard while running some terminal program.
-
- Your little trick with \R is only useful in software that supports it
- and converts it to ^M before sending that to the serial port. Some
- terminal programs do that in their modem string gadgets, script
- languages etc., but not Amiga PPP.
