Great question. Many times Tone-LOC gets cleaner banners because it has an option to strip the parity bit (if you want it to). Run TLCFG.exe and check under Scan Options the Parity Stripping Option. In your case im not sure how you address connection issues but your answer is in how you hanlde parity once connected.

I started writing a War Dialler in Perl for Unix/Linux that would simply take a list of numbers and dial them, recording the banners, and doing a bit of prompting to stimulate banners if none were forthcoming. But one of the things that I have no idea how to do is the "Automatic Parity conversion" that Tone-LOC did, when connecting to a different parity modem. Does anyone have any ideas? Re the prompting, one of the most common "Silent" modems seems to be Windows NT RAS. This sits there until you give it a particular string. I am intending to capture the initial string using PortMon, and replay it blindly whenever I get no initial characters. That should help identify a number of systems, I think.
