I know that modems usually comunicate with each other thru AT- commands. I also know that the procedure that we all know in Windows- ask modem state- is actually a one AT command, than modem returns useless garbage and windows puts this on the screen. Only when modems are connected, can we use them as COM ports and forget that they are modems.
