Thats strange - normally it shouldn't matter weather you originated the
call or answered it, it should always be able to hang up with the escape
sequence..

JC>       Could anyone suggest a bit of code to force the
JC>modem's DTR to drop causeing the modem to go off-line when
JC>it is in host mode? And in basic? Thanks in advance.....

Heres a function that'll change the DTR setting:

DEFINT A-Z
SUB SetDTR (Setting%)
' If Setting% is 0, DTR is lowered, otherwise its raised
' For COM1 the address is &H3F8, for COM2 its &H2F8

PortAddress = &H3F8

IF Setting% THEN
  OUT PortAddress + 4, INP(PortAddress + 4) OR 1
ELSE
  OUT PortAddress + 4, INP(PortAddress + 4) AND &HFE
END IF

END SUB
