I am playing with Gnuucp and trying to add dialer support for VENTEL modems.
Currently, it only supports HAYES protocol.  My problem is that I cannot
get the modem from its quiescent state into interactive mode.  The manual
states that to wake it up, you _type_ two carriage returns at it.  From
a VT100 emulator, I can wake it up just fine, but not from a program of mine.

So:

Is there some special way to open the serial port on the Amiga?  (Other that
whatever way it is using now)

Is there something bizzare that must be done to VENTELs?  I know that under
Ultrix, you just set the ACU to type VENTEL and magic happens.  Does anyone
know what gets sent to the modem under Un*x?

Thanks,
-ethan
