/COMMSYNC
/NOCOMMSYNC (default)
Allows connection of asynchronous printers and other devices
to terminal ports, using standard modem control signals as flow
control. Transmission to the device stops if either data set
ready (DSR) or clear to send (CTS) EIA modem control signals are
dropped. Transmission resumes when both signals are present.
The /COMMSYNC qualifier and the /MODEM qualifier are mutually
exclusive.
The COMMSYNC feature has the following limitations:
o Cannot be used on LAT ports
o Can only be used on ports with full modem control
o Should not be used in conjunction with Xon/Xoff flow control
(the port may hang)
CAUTION
The /COMMSYNC qualifier should never be set on a line with
a modem that is intended for interactive use. The qualifier
disables the modem terminal characteristic that disconnects
a user process from the terminal line in case of a modem
phone line failure. With the /COMMSYNC qualifier enabled,
the next call on the terminal line could be attached to the
previous user's process. Security administrators should
be aware that the characteristic should not be used on
interactive terminal ports. In addition, the /COMMSYNC
qualifier is not supported on a port connected to a LAT
line.
