As for using a non-Hayes compatible modem, the original idea behind the file modem.c was so that users could make any required changes. Not having access to Lattice does make this a bit hard. There are NO plans to modify code and remove Lattice specific calls at this time. As for the reason Lattice and Hayes compatible modems were supported, and continue to be supported, is because 90% of Amiga UUCP/UseNet users have both. The solution to Lattice calls taken by Fred Cassirer was to write replacement functions for use with Manx. I know he has written several and im sure if you asked, he would be glad to share them with you. (Sorry to say I lost Fred's mail address. So if your reading this Fred, please send it to me and post a follow up message).
