/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.
