I want to thank everyone who responded to my query about dialing a modem
using Orca/C.  It turned out that I merely had to put a carriage return
at the end of each dialing command, eg

WriteCString("18005551212\r");

Unfortunately, I still have a problem.  I've found that in order to send
pulses or tones through my modem using texttools, I apparently need to
InitTextDev(output) before each attempt, or else interim actions mess things
up, but that initialization also hangs up the phone line.  I need to be able
to send tones through an open line without hanging up, so I think I need to
use FWEntry to use firmware routines.  The <misctool.h> file with Orca/C
conflicts with the operand description in Apple's Toolbox Reference, so I
wonder if anyone can send me an example of a call to FWEntry.  I need to
be able to put a specific value in the accumulator and call a routine at
a certain memory location.
