Hmm.. should not be a big deal , there are a bunch of programs that allow
AREXX to interface to the serial port .

The thing is to set the modem (hopefully hayes compat) to send the "RING"
result string when the pohone rings , and just have a program do the scree
when that string comes in ..

(a fun idea would be to let the program run a random screen hack when the
ring happens -- it would be fun to have "ing!" bounce the windows around as
a ring indiocator..;.. very dramatic)
