If you only need to send a string to the modem, and don't have a speed requirement, then there are many ways. You can use FWEntry to call the modem firmware directly, or you can use the GS/OS character FST. If you're doing read operations, you will have to first call the firmware and check if a character is there, and only then read it. Otherwise, if no character is received, your program will hang as the Character FST waits forever. UUCP: bkj386!pnet91!mhill INET: mhill@pnet91.cts.com
