Here is a quick summary of my problem:
I want to get my PC to call the campus mainframe from time to time
to check my electronic mail. I am having problems communicating
with my modem. Here is my code:
fp = fopen("com1","r+"); /* open for read & write */
fprintf("atd0000000\n"); /* send dial sequence */
while (fgetc(fp) != 'T'); /* Wait for connection */
That dials fine, but if I try to read the modem's result codes I
never get them. I would like to set up a loop to wait until the
modem responds with "CONNECT", and then at other points to respond
to prompts from the mainframe.
Any suggestions? Please E-MAIL, since being an undergrad I don't
allways have time to read the net. I'll post a summary of solutions.
