HELP!! I am trying to access my modem (under xenix 286). I have no idea how to do this and the manuals arn't very helpful. The modem is on tty1a (1A if you care about modem control). I just need some hints to help me get started. I tried to open tty1a as a file but had no luck. It seems that the modem won't accept anything I write there as a command. Any and all help is appreciated. Please E-mail if possible. Later Terry

You need to open with the O_NDELAY to open with no carrier detect. This
allows the open to succeed before carrier is present. Without the O_NDELAY
the open waits for carrier.
The best thing for you to do is look at the dialer sources in /usr/lib/uucp
on your Xenix system.
