I am inthe process of writing some software that is liable to be used over serial wires, or over modems representing hardwire connections. In any case, I would like to make the software as modem independent as possible. I looked through the tip and cu programs under 4.2, but their handling of different modems is atrocious. Is this really necessary? Has no one developed an /etc/termcap-like dtaatabase for modems? Or any other kind of database, would be fine. If I don't get any positive responses, I will probably go about developing such a package myself. I wqeelcome buoth affirmative responses and suggestions as to what such a database should look like. Please post replies to : ...!harvard!elvy or elvy@harvard.arpa, etc. Thanks, Marc P.S. I will summarize if necessary.
