 Dan ... to get a modem to do what you want you goto to use the Hayes AT
 command set. First however you must TALK to the modem first thru' your serial
 port, which (in TP anyway) is quite easy to do. So at this point you could
 either use your own routines internal to your code (if you don't feel like
 writing them there is loads on publin domain) or you could use a fossil
 driver. Fossil drivers are quite good because on any 80X86 machine, you can
 (once it is running DOS) get in some cases on implementation of the driver.
 I know it is also available for some non compatible MSDos machives. Anyway,
 the driver is just a TSR, which you call through a specific interrupt ...
 like calling any BIOS service really. However, if you use a fossil driver, the
 driver must be in memory first to work obviously, but you can check for its 
 presence. Then once you are sending and receiving to the Modem then you use
 the command  set. However one thing I forgot to say was that not all modems 
 are Hayes compatible so they will not use the command set, but to be honest I
 never came across one of them in my life ...
 I have the actual code (before it was modified) that was used in Spitfire BBS,
 and it is very good. I've started writting a BBS, and using this have had the
 actual Turbo Pascal program performing 12 different tasks but still managed to
 get info from the modem without losing characters. This was under MSDOS.
 If you need any routines, or specific help ... 'cos the whole area is quite
 broad just mail me ... ok ...
