This problem exists on all networked (home) computers, so far as I can
see. Microdaft's Internet Connection Sharing, Sygate, and Wingate, all
don't seem to have a remote hangup capability. I guess they're designed
in countries where they don't have timed local calls, or dial up tolls.
You end up having to wait for idle timeouts, or manually disconnecting
the MODEM link.
How hard would it be to (properly) implement an ARexx listener on
MiamiDx, so you could send connect to a certain port, send a password,
then a Miami ARexx command? Rather than Telnet in, and have to develop
something to listen to Telnet and relay commands. That way you properly
remote control MiamiDx from any computer.
e.g. Some command for: SendControlMessage ImAllowedToDoThis Hangup
Bye,
Tim.
