[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Can Hypertalk receive modem status codes.. ?

carrow@nrl-cmf.UUCP (Steven Carrow) (04/28/89)

I am a real Hypercard novice, and I would like to use it for the purpose
of repeatedly dialing a likely-to-be-busy number and then giving the call
to me on receipt of a ring. However, in the Hypercard literature I've looked
at, I've seen no mention of a Hypertalk method for receiving the modem status
code. Have I missed something, or is receiving from the serial port non-trivial?

Thanks to all,

Steven A Carrow
