The feature you're included in OmniSwp to clear the DTR line is exactly what
I was looking for! Now I can use the wealth of DOS based comm programs
available!
I'm also thrilled with the new features included int v1.0.
keep up the good work Frits!!!! Now I have the ability to dial up my ISP
with vt100 capability.
