-
- Is the port set /MODEM before you start MultiNet?
-
- You can always force a disconnect with SET/INTERFACE/SLIP=TTA2:/DOWN.
-
- I would also recommend upgrading to MultiNet V3.1. There may have
- been bugs in V2.2 which we don't even remember about anymore. V2.2
- hasn't been supported for well over a year.
