I think you'll find that ^D (EOT) was interpreted as a disconnect order on all of the 8-bit TTY boxes that had a (WECO) Data Set 109 built into the unit; there was apparently a pair of contacts in the stunt box that when activated caused the modem to go on-hook. (Such units could be identified by looking at the illuminated buttons under the phone dial or TouchTone pad: if some of the buttons controlled the modem and some controlled the motor, you probably had a DS 109 in the box.) I don't recall if there was a strap option to suppress the hangup-on-EOT feature. Does someone here have a copy of the BSP pages for the DS 109? Joe Morris
