I use it here quite happily on a number of boxes started run /etc/inittab with a Kermit script driving it. If, in order for it to class as an application you need to work at a lower level, I'd suggest looking to Perl. It's got a number of modules for handling serial ports, as well as modules for file transfer. While I haven't used Perl with serial ports myself I would imagine it'll be fairly easy. As for driving the modem, it's been a while so I won't be able to help much. The main things are if you're wanting your modem to answer incoming calls would be to make sure that the program you have monitoring the line configures the modem to answer calls (or if you want, get your program to monitor the 'RING' messages from the modem and then issue the 'ATA' (I think) command). A good guide the the Hayes compatible 'AT' command set will help you immensely here. HTH Gary > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > The New Yahoo!
