I'm working on a control system using the 8088, 80286 and similar processors. Code is being written in Turbo Pascal and being stored in ROM. The system contains no disk drive and does not have a copy of DOS. I'd like to find a library of routines to "talk" to standard fax modems. I need to be able to tell the modem to place a call, then I'd like to send it ascii strings which would be printed as lines of text on the called fax machine. Of course, I also need to be able to disconnect from the called fax machine. To not take a ton of ram, I'm thinking the text to fax conversion can be done on a line by line basis (one line of text changed to an approriate number of lines of fax). Also in this system, I need to detect incoming DTMF and do ascii text string to voice conversion (out the modem). Most of the voice output stuff I've seen records voice instead of doing ascii to voice. Use of ascii to voice should give our users flexibility in system operation (though they may have to spell things strangely to make it sound right). Further, ascii text takes a lot less memory than speech! So, I'll look forward to any comments. I've only been reading this group for about a month, but have found it very informative.
