Let user exit 'modem'
According to his man page, Fisher's original modem program exits when ^D
(control-D) is sent. However, this revised version has to be killed with SIGHUP from a different terminal. (pkill -1 modem
)
Please add the ability for the user to exit the program. I am not sure what would be best, but here's an idea:
- If in command mode (not connected), allow
^D
(EOF),^C
(sigint), and^\
(sigquit) to close the modem program. - If in data mode (connected, e.g., after "ATA"), then let user return to command mode by typing pause

pause .
Please see the description of the Heatherington '302 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Independent_Escape_Sequence for information on how the +++
escape sequence worked only when typed by a human, not when uploading files.
