Subject:Help a newie please. Looking for a good programmer.

Hi everyone.

I know what I am about to ask. Sorry.

I have had some help from people with a bit of programming but what I am
wanting is not their speciality.

I have tried to write my own program too, but there is problems happening
that I don't understand.

Ok, getting to it:

I want a program to look at the serial port and tell me if the modem is
selected or not - this is done by sending an AT command and seeing if it
gets an OK back within a time.

I have tried to do this, and I think my program DOES work and I am happy
send it to anyone (or the group) if there is no problems with that.

The other program I want is to get Caller ID information from the modem.

The modem has the ability to send the caller ID to the serial port when
there is an incoming call and the time/date.

I want to open a database, look for the number, and show me the name of the
person calling.

There is a program on the "other" platform that does this.

My attempts do not work.

Again, I can send you my effort if you are interested.

Thanks very much in advance.

Cya!
