TOPIC ---------------------------------------------
I have an application that requires approximately a 1/2-second break
(sometimes referred to as a 'flash hook' or a 'switch hook') to be
generated by the modem. There are a number of modems that provide this
feature by sending an exclamation point ('!'). The Apple Personal Modem
does not support this.
Does the new Apple Data Modem 2400 support this feature?
DISCUSSION ---------------------------------------------
Yes, the Apple Data Modem 2400 does support the 'Flash' command; the
character used is the exclamation point ('!'). This command causes the
modem to go ON-HOOK for half a second, then go OFF-HOOK. This is a useful
command for transferring telephone calls on some telephone systems.
