ABSTRACT:
A device independent modem interface employs a call control and data transfer application programming interface for application programs to access a modem in a device independent fashion. A universal modem driver reads device specific information from a registry to issue specific control commands to a modem. The universal modem driver separates command mode and data mode of the modem transparently to the application. The modem interface also includes support for detecting a modem and for loading device specific information into the registry based on the modem identification.
