I have a need to test for dial tone on a modem prior to sending credit card transactions. How can I do this from RBASIC? Thanks for your help.

The old utility.docs file that came with ARev 1.x (I'm not sure about later versions) documented V124. I also posted the code for a simple modem dialer a few days ago, search for the keyword dialer.

Basically you'd use v124 to send the modem command string to test for dial tone then read the result in the comm buffer, again using v124.
