Well, I tried to mail this to you, but it was promptly bounced, so I
guess I'll post it, instead.

Okay, I'm not sure how much help this will be, but I'll give it to
you anyway. I saw something on AppleLink, in one of the forums, in a
folder about books, relating somewhat to this. Somebody had posted a
small review of a book about modem programming, giving lots of info,
I take it. It wasn't an apple specific book, and I believe that
although it had code samples, they were in C, which may not be of
all THAT much use to you, but at least it's a start. Hope it is of
at least some help.
