1. Included in the archive:
DTRCTRL.PAS A Turbo Pascal 6.0 unit for DTR control with
DTRCTRL.TPU sources so you can compile this with another
version of Turbo Pascal
DTR.PAS A little utility to drop or raise DTR with Turbo
DTR.EXE Pascal sources
HANGUP.PAS A utility that will hang up the modem,
HANGUP.EXE by dropping the DTR, pausing and raising the DTR
2. Usage of the DTRCTRL unit:
Two functions can be used in this unit:
- DTRControl (COMPort: Byte; DTR: Boolean);
You just have to specify for which COMPort you want to
change the DTR State, and the DTR option is: TRUE = Raise
DTR, FALSE = Drop DTR
- DTRState (COMPort: Byte);
Returns TRUE if the DTR of the specified COMPort is ON
(Raised) and FALSE if the DTR is OFF (Dropped)
3. Other programs in the archive:
You can get the information about their usage by typing the name
of the EXE file without specifying any parameter.
4. Specifications:
If you want to use the DTR as a hangup utility, you have to
configure the modem so when the DTR is off, it hangs up. With
lots of modems, you configure it by typing: AT &D2.
