Let me first say that this newsgroup has helped me beyond any $60 - $100
dollar book on Standard C/C++ programming! :-)

********* Now the question

Is there a library out there that can support the MODEM for games and
stuff?

And if there isn't, i presume that you can just do this:

// Appropriate Header Files

void main() {
	FILE *fp;

	fp=fopen("COM3 /*or appropriate com port*/","wb");
	fputs( fp, "ATDT xxx-xxxx" );
	fputs( fp, "..." );
	...
	...
	...
	...
	...
	
	fclose( fp );
}

I'm not sure if you can write to com ports like this because when you're
in DOS (or DOS box under windows 95) you can go like this:

COPY CON A > (or < I'm not sure) COM3

And it will open a port to COM3 for writing to.  So i'm really
persuaming that you can do this in C++/C also?
