RE: Problem with Simple.Connect



I thought the +++ escape sequence was rarely used. I've read that it's usually disabled to avoid malfunction in case these characters are legitimately a part of the data stream? 

If this is a workaround where do people suggest the intelligence be placed?

In the olden days of dialup modems, dropping DTR was the "official" way to terminate the connection. The sequence of "<pause>+++<pause>ATH\r" was considered a workaround, for the case when you had a three wire cable and the modem was configured to ignore (the absence of) DTR.
