[Gimp-user] Modem escape sequence +++ query ?
I am now the proud owner of a serial external modem, goodby winmodem with depmod problems ! To cut a long story short, it dials, as it happens on demand, and talks to my ISP AOK on the first attempt. When I kill pppd or my NTL ISP drops the line all apears AOK except when I want to go back on line again. The modem refuses to accept any commands ie ATZ, ATH1, ATDT I assume this is because the modem is now in connect mode, I tried to put it back in command mode with echo +++ /dev/ttyS0 in /etc/ppp/ip-down.d but no go debian:/etc/chatscripts# debian:/etc/chatscripts# echo ATL1X1DT126308005190100 /dev/ttyS0 debian:/etc/chatscripts# Modem dials AOK, responding to commands ... However now will NOT shut down, the following does nothing, Have to power down modem then ATH0 ATH1 work AOK debian:/etc/chatscripts# debian:/etc/chatscripts# echo +++ /dev/ttyS0 debian:/etc/chatscripts# echo ATH0 /dev/ttyS0 debian:/etc/chatscripts# echo ATZ /dev/ttyS0 debian:/etc/chatscripts# debian:/etc/chatscripts# Any Ideas, Maybe I am just phrasing +++ wrong ? Also does anyone know of a dumb terminal program that will let me see what comes back from the modem ? I used to use one but cant remember what it was called.

Since Debian compiles for a i386 I have a PIII I have re-compiled Gimp, cupsys-driver-gimpprint libgimpprint1. To my supprise this has made no difference.
