DTROFF
Function
Turn off the serial port DTR signal.
Syntax
DTROFF No arguments are required
Remarks
This statement turns off the serial port DTR signal. Most modems take
this condition to mean that they should hang up on a caller, and this is
how PCBoard uses it. This statement can be used when you need to hangup
on a caller but don't want PCBoard to perform it's logoff processing.
Simply turn off CD checking and keyboard timeout checking and issue the
DTROFF statement. Do whatever processing you want, then turn DTR,
keyboard timeout testing, and CD loss testing back on to allow PCBoard
to recycle normally. Note that DTR should remain off for a period of
time to ensure that the modem has time to react to it. Consider 1/2
second (about 9 clock ticks) a reasonable delay.
