caller id in vgetty

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

On the Sportster, one of the other commands reset caller ID. I debugged this
about a year ago, and found exactly which command it was - for some reason,
I vaguely remember it was when you switched in to or out of voice more, it'd
turn off. 

Anyhow, AT#CID=1 has to be done _after_ everything else vgetty does to
initialize the modem, which I believe is post-init-chat, but I bet someone
else can confirm this, or tell you what it really is.
