Do you know how can I force DCD to be always on on async serial router interface configured to be DCE ?
Thanks !

You can rewire the cable to pull the signal high on that pin. Just dont forget to mark the cable as a custom one or you may get yourself into trouble when you have forgotten about it ;-)

Well ...I know that. )
I was thinking about some software solution because I`ll have to do that on 16 cables I need.
Anyway , thank you Mike!

ahh yes.. the old octopus cabling trick.. well Agent 80, I wonder if it's possible through a modem cap file or a chat script talking to the modem?

I have not had to deal with this particuler problem. Hopefully someone else here has.

Well Mike ..it has nothing to do with octopus cable and I dont believe chat script could help because as I sad serial interface are configured to be DCE ...am not connecting modem to router, I am connecting router to Honeywell Datanet
communication processor which is DTE in this case.
Thanks anyway ,

OK.. I dont know of any software tricks to do what you want on all sixteen cables. All my *conversions* have required either a custom cable or a hacked null-modem adapter inserted into the line which avoids taking the cable apart(mostly for 3174s). Have you tried calling TAC and see if they have any tricks up their sleeves?

Good luck and if you do find a trick, please post it !
