I'm looking for the reverse of this. I have a Worldport with a mini-din
plug that I want to connect to a friend's wintel portable. I managed to
get a 3 wire protocol (RX, TX, GND) going, so I can "AT" the modem and get
"OK" back. But if I dial an ISP, I'll get "CONNECT 12345" (don't recall
the speed) and then nothing. I suspect it's waiting for some handshaking
from the computer but I haven't had the time/skill to investigate further.

I don't have (and haven't found) proper documenation for the modem. Maybe
there exists an ATSx=y code or extended command would deactivate the
handshaking while connected.

Anyone have a clue?
