I wish I knew exactly, Bernd.  My knowledge that HylaFAX handles serial
ports differently than minicom is only based on experience, but I can't say
why they are different.  But I do know that ATH works fine with
problem-modems in minicom from having tried it myself.

The only confirmation of this that I've gotten outside of my own experience
is reports of people who use minicom, cu, or tip to send commands just
fine, but then it doesn't work from HylaFAX.  Robert has mentioned once
something in response to such reports that indicated that HylaFAX and these
terminal proggies handle serial ports differently.  All that I can say is
that HylaFAX is more "demanding" and "intense".  I, too, wish I knew why.


Lee.
