- The problem with that little script you wrote is that you never told the modem
- that there was an EOL. So the modem just sits there waiting for an EOL.
- If you type atz in a term program you automatically hit the return key.
- So you need to tell the modem the same thing when you use a script.
- The \r combination signifies a <return> with my Supra Fax/Modem V.34 external,
- and I believe that this is fairly standard.
-
- I hope you can see that the problem you are experiancing is a user error and
- not a software error with the serial.device.
