End FunctionJust put your old modem on port 1, write "AT" (AT = Attention) press Return. Now you can communicate with your modem. For example "ATDT1234567" (D = Dail, T = Tone) or Hangup with ATH0.

| Have done a MAX module of this if anyone interested? Havenot tested it yet seems to be ok. |
| ||
| hey this works!!!!! even works with home brew RS232 buffers! |
| ||
| Thanks this seems to work, after adding the API stuff to my Kernal32.decl some of the declarations already existed with api_ as show below Yours : apiSetCommState%(File%, pDCB*) : "SetCommState" Mine: api_SetCommState% (hCommDev%, lpDCB*) : "SetCommState" |
| ||
| I was searching for a Terminal, to test my At89S8252-processor, found a lot, but nothing good. Then I saw this, compiled and everything works now. Thanks |
| ||
| Exactly how do we use it? (I'm not great with advanced concepts like memory banks and stuff) |
| ||
| Hey Vertex, thanks for sharing. I tried and it wooooorks! |
| ||
| @Nigel Brown, yes I'm very much interested in a BMax version. Do you still have it? Cheers, Danny |

| Nigel Brown's com module is here. Also see Brucey's wxCTB. |
