Not sure if its a setting that Im missing but when I connect to the Octel250 using procomm and end my dialup connection the actual terminal takes forever to get released! what can I do to have this released faster?
 
Not sure i know what you mean? If you do a ctrl C to exit then just hit the hangup button in proccom. The disconect string from the modem may not be setup right on the far end. Or procom

Is not seeing it right

I backout correctly and hang up but the terminal wont release for about 2-3 minuted after I hang up. I will check the setup, thanks Ken!
 
When you say the terminal will not release do you mean you can't login on the local terminal after you hangup ?

Sorry about that Ken I didnt see your question until now, but yes when I disconnect from Procomm I cant login to the Local Terminal. I tried logging on onetime after you our Robert dialed in and had the same problem. It will hold for 2 or 3 minutes before it releases the local terminal.
 
The modem port is tied into the terminal port that is why you can't use both at the same time. this is normal that it would take a few minutes to disconnect and let you use the terminal
