Can't anyone help me do modem access??? Using Win32 APIs??? "Information has a tendency to be free. Which means someone will always tell you something you don't want to know."

Have you had a look at the TAPI (v3) in the Platform SDK? It's s*&t load of stuff for dialup and modem access. If you don't have it you can get it gratis from MS.

(sigh) somehow MSDN doesn't seem to work for me... I can't ever find anything I REALLY REALLY need fast enough there. "Information has a tendency to be free. Which means someone will always tell you something you don't want to know."

Ah but this is the Platform SDK not MSDN, it contains headers, source, samples and docs for s*&t loads MS technologies.

Goto the MS site and have a look, I don't think you'll be dissappointed. Try

Crappy MSDN... I kept searching for Platform SDK and it kept giving me 1000+ matching pages, which discouraged me from looking real hard for it. Crappy MSDN....

Now win32.hlp, that is good.

Is there some other lower-level way of accessing the modem? Preferably by sending 'AT' commands myself? TAPI seems to prevent me from doing that, 'course I've just taken a look-over. Need to convert a DOS game program that does modem access... "Information has a tendency to be free. Which means someone will always tell you something you don't want to know."

You could always use CreateFile this will give you access to the COMM ports. You can then send raw data.
