Yes, in the old days, you actually saw this CONNECT string when you tried to 
connect, before windows hid everything behind a GUI... You can tell the modem 
to either send a text or numeric return value.. You can set a timeout period 
as well... 

After that, just send bytes down and read bytes out... Just be careful of 
certain escape sequences.. 

Check out the Hayes modem spec for more info.. you can configure the modem 
with AT commands as well... 

cheers..
