Hi.  I'm writing a trivial program on lightspeed pascal that reads/writes
to the modem using the standard readln and writeln calls.  I'm having no
problems sending stuff to the modem, but when I try to read what comes from
the modem, I keep getting garbage.  All I'm doing is

open(modem, 'modem:');
...
writeln(modem, 'atdt555-1212');
readln(modem, foo);	<- here I'd like to get the echo from the modem
readln(modem, foobar);	<- here I'd like to get CONNECT,

For some reason, this ain't working.  so, What am I doing wrong?

Reply via e-mail, please
