Grex Info Item 267: Problem w/ Terminal Hang-up from Aquaintance
Entered by bjorn on Wed Nov 22 21:58:42 UTC 1995:

Since I have been in Ann Arbor this week, I have been using my
sister's boyfriend's computer to Grex.  While I can call up and
log onto grex from his Terminal program fine, the computer
refuses to hang up the phone.  I realize that this may be a phone
line related problem, not a computer oriented one, but I figure
that I should ask about it, in case my sister's boyfriend decides
to become a grexer and has to actually hang up the phone-phone
a few times before he can use the line normally.  Thank you
for your prompt attention.

If you type "exit" or "hangup" at the login: prompt, Grex
should hang up the phone for you.

Conceivably that may not help with the problem Bjorn is seeing.  In a
previous incarnation my modem refused to go on-hook **even when the computer
was powered down** (internal modem).  This prevented any phone in the house
from being used until I physically unplugged the modem from the phone jack.
Bleah.

Bjorn, first try what Rob said; I hope that your problem is that one, as
it's much simpler.  But if it's the one I saw, my solution was to return
the modem (fortunately just barely under warranty); however, I asked here
about it (in, I think, the hardware cf) & got tentative diagnoses & advice.
It sounded maybe fixable for those more technically adept than I.  This
was a while ago now.

Well, the problem seems to have repaired itself.  Though I must admit
that 'twould behoove me to have copied the presice configuration that
I am currently using on my own program before I even came down to Ann
Arbor.  As I am using someone else's computer, some solutions are
not within my calling.
