No, I have a collection o functions that do just about anything you want
to with a modem.  It has a termcap-like collection of routines for accessing
a file /etc/modemcap to get the capabilities, and code to access
/etc/modemtype to get the modem, and a whole dial(3) package to do the
rest.

But then I thought the net already had all this stuff.  Am I wrong again?

Send mail request, if I get enough I'll post, otherwise I'll just mail
the stuff to you.  Please note my return address in the .signature and
send as direct as possible.

- John.
