: HOW CAN I CHECK FOR CARRIER DETECT USING A LAT DEVICE
:
So this is a question about C-Kermit? Which version? The current version
is 6.0:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck60.html
soon to be replaced by 7.0:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck70.html
Anyway, I'm not sure if this works. The best way to tell is to give
commands like like this:
set line ltannn (replace with actual port name)
show comm
show modem
Does it show modem signals, or does it say "Modem signals not available"?
If it shows modem signals then you can use WAIT to test for them, but
you have to omit the backslash -- just use "wait 1 cd".
If it says "Modem signals not available", that means it asked VMS for
the modem signals and VMS returned an error.
But are you really asking the right question? What are you trying to
accomplish with "wait 1 cd"? Is this part of a dialing sequence? If so,
did you know that you can just use the DIAL command? All of this is
explained in the manual:
