It would be amusing (and potentially useful, for applications like Nick's) if modem manufacturers started selling user-programmable models. I'd imagine the firmware developers have something of this sort for developing the code that eventually gets burned into ROMs. I can see it now...TB-MOS ({TrailBlazer,TeleBit}-Modem Operating System). And before long there'd be OOMP (Object-Oriented Modem Programming). -- Andrew Ernest
