     Seem to be having trouble with rexxserdev.library version 2- it won't
open the library, no matter what I do.  This is the one by Joe Stivaletta-
does anyone know of any other programs permitting arexx to access the serial
port?
     My ultimate aim- and please holler if you know it won't work or there's
an easier way- is to use rexx to dial for VLT.  It is regrettably not as
simple as sending EMIT commands to VLT, as VLT has no way of telling rexx
how the attempted call turned out, as far as I can tell.  (Yes, I'm a rank
novice.)  It seems that I need something to let rexx get at the serial port,
or I need to use another language (aaaaauuuggghhhh!!!  I barely know rexx!)
