You may want to try and execute 'cat /modem/device/here' through Gambas and 
try to interprate the values you get. Though, it's not going to be easy.
It'll be hard for you to understand what cat is trying to say, but I'm sure 
you can grab books about it.

Gambas is not such an advanced compiler yet. And I doubt modem support will 
ever be implanted in it as dialog modems are getting more rare over the 
years. C sure has some kind of support for modems, the question is how hard 
it is, because I guess it won't quite handle operations but will simply dumb 
hex code as well.
