Summary: HANGUP on FreeBSD drops DTR longer than 0.5 second
Keywords: HANGUP timing FreeBSD DTR
X-Newsreader: NN version 6.4.19 #2
Apparently-To: [e-mail]

Issuing the HANGUP command on my FreeBSD system drops the
DTR line forever, instead of just 0.5 second, as explained
in the C-Kermit book (page 45). I use the modem setting 'direct'.

On my Linux system, the command works according to the book.
It is a problem for me, because I try to connect both systems
with a direct line and SLIP, and the HANGUP command should
cause the other machine to logout. However, I found no way
to get the DTR on the FreeBSD box back to ON! (except SET LINE).

Can anyone tell me if this is supposed to depend on the OS?
If it may be a bug? How to turn DTR to ON?

In general, is there a way with Kermit to set ANY of the
handshake lines to arbitrary values? Would be neat for testing
all kinds of things.

Thanks for any info,
