Having problems waking up a VENTEL modem inside programs

[thad at cup.portal.com]

Ahem.  The Amiga's OS is not UNIX.  I know, I have a bunch of Amigas. I
also have some 3B1 systems.

Quick question: you attempting to do this from a C program?  If so, the
easiest way to assist you is to point you at the source code for either
the COMM or the Amiga-C-Kermit programs.  If you need source, let me
know.  You can ALSO simply open the SER: port as you would a file, and
send some chars its way ... that'll wake up your Ven-Tel.  I know, I have
a Ven-Tel (and ARK and CTS too).

P.S. The newgroups "comp.sys.amiga.tech" is NOT official, and who knows
in what bit bucket your message ended.
