Can anyone out there make recommendations for a 'C' library for modem communications in an IBM-PC/XT/AT. I am looking for the following features: o Ability to control Hayes-type modems. o set-up for auto-answer, and reset if Carrier Detect is lost. o supports time limits for individual users, and limits for pauses between key presses. o allows for system operator monitoring during calls. o compatible with a variety of compilers (i.e., MSC 4.0, 5.0; Turbo C; Lattice C). o source (and object) code. I am aware of two such packages (ESI and Greenleaf) but I have not seen either one. Does anyone have comments on these, or others you would recommend? Are there any PD packages available?

You might try the C ASYNCH MANAGER from Blaise Computing. I know it will support points 1, 5, and 6 and might support 2, although 3 and 4 would have to be coded by you. These routines are very flexible, and will also support XMODEM. If you have any technical questions, you can call and ask for Pat (that's me) or Phil.
