Re: Apple II with Lantronix?

["PeteB" <pbmain@wideopenwest.com>]

The Lantronix UDS-10 is working now...used a custom IIgs cable, and now I'm 
trying to find out how to get rid of the "RING 192.168.1.105" string it 
sends....basically, the UDS does the RING, CONNECT, NO CARRIER, etc...but 
it's tacking on the IP address to the RING statement which is throwing off 
my bbs software.  It makes the connection and I can type RING in manually 
and get the BBS software to "Wake up and answer", but if I type in RING 
192.168.1.105 it just sits there.  It's not part of the original Hayes 
standard, I don't think, so i'm not sure how to get around it yet.  Waiting 
to hear back from Lantronix Support
