- Hi,
-
- I was wondering if anyone had a method of making a modem connection to a
- service and then leave it open after it exited (ie not dropping DTR). My
- reason for asking is to allow IBM's TCP/IP's SLIP to work with the SLIP
- Terminal Server at my site.
-
- I need to be able to make the connection, log into the service, disconnect
- from the comms application and then run the SLIP command to make the slip
- connection. Unfortunately IBM's TCP/IP doesn't have any provision for
- this (at least not that I can see).
-
- Does anyone know of something that would do this for me ?
-
- Thanx in advance
