We have got AUX to work with Microcomm 2400c and 9600+ in AT dumb mode.
Apple is working on problems with running the modems in AT smart mode. AUX
does not work properly with the Everex 2400e, probably the same problem as
above. I understand that AUX dialup will work with Hayes modems.

We have found that if carrier is lost for any reason, ie someone
trips over the phone cord, the line is hit by noise, there is a power
failure at the remote end, etc. AUX will not kill the dialup shell process.
Anybody can call back and get into the system. Apple.com is working
on this problem. I have since learned that this may be a SysV problem and
not necessarily just an AUX problem.
