    In reply to the question about modem control, I would like to suggest an
an alternative: ModemWorks.
    ModemWorks is a "communications construction set" for writing message
systems, terminal programs and other modem driven routines. All modem support
routines are accessed via the ampersand (&) hook from Basic. Over 50 commands
are available, including COPY, FILES, and XMODEM send and receive routines.
Currently supports the Novation Apple-Cat and Hayes-compatible external modems
at 300, 1200, and 2400 baud, and drivers for other types of modems are being
developed.
    ModemWorks is put out by a collective of programmers known as Living
Legends Software. Their stuff is freeware. The address is 1915 Froude Street,
San Diego, CA 92107. Or call (619) 222-3722
    So there you have it: easy and elegant modem control from Basic.
