[comp.sys.amiga] Modem from AmigaBasic Help

Hello there.  I am writing a BBS in AmigaBasic (yuck! :) ) and have actually
gotten the I/O to work at a semi-respectable pace.  What I need to know,
however, is how to read the status of the carrier detect line.  Right now
the software hangs up after a timeout, but I would prefer an instant
disconnect upon loss of carrier.  Is there some way I can interface with
the serial device from basic so I can read its status line?

Any help would be MUCH MUCH MUCH appreciated!
