C++ and Modems

[LuCk]

Does anyone know about connecting to a modem and listening dial tones to see
what button the user pressed with C++?

Regards,
Carl

The C++ language itself, the only topic here, does not define any
interface to any hardware devices at all. All input and output is
provided in terms of iostream objects and FILE * streams.

Your specific compiler and operating system might provide its own
particular extensions for doing this, but they are not part of the
language and they are vastly different from one
compiler/computer/operating system combination to the next.

So you need to ask this question in a support group for your
particular compiler.

You may want to search the web and newsgroups
for Modem standards. Not all modems are the same nor
do they all pass back or interpret the dial tones.
