Specifically, how does one go about sending characters >through the modem port? I haven't seen his routines, but from what I've heard, they directly access the firmware. That allows about the fastest data transfer possible. If you want generic routines that access the modem port via the .MODEM GS/OS driver, pick up a copy of Transfusion. The code is in ORCA/C, but it can port fairly easily since everything is just calls to GS/OS. (You can order Transfusion from GS+ Magazine, PO Box 15366, Chattanooga, TN 37415-0366 ($10 + $1.50 shipping, I believe, or call (615) 870-4960. The $10 is for Transfusion, source code, and the rest of a GS+ issue. It's a good bargain.) >John Ternlund (reply: ternlund@mozart.cs.colostate.edu) -- ===> Josef W.
