I don't have my Hayes command set here at work, but my recollection is that you need to send an &C1 and &D2 command to the modem to tell it to monitor carrier detect and drop DTR when the connection is lost (or does the &D2 tell it to monitor DTR and hangup? Well, something like that). I see that you are using the &D2, but not &C1 (unless the modem already defaults to that). Also, specify the HUPCL option in your gettydefs/ttydefs file for the serial port you're using; when you terminate the pppd process from your end, this will force the modem control lines to be dropped and hang up. I'll double check these modem commands when I get home tonight. Thanks- Mike Blatchley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
