Ok...a repeat for Kem....two small simple codes the first one is to try to
send data to the second phone modem...it does ring and waits for the second
one to respond.

This second one does respond and send something to the first modem (I can
here it)....but I cannot detect that it is getting any data from the first
modem....

When/if I can get this to work and import into the real program I have some
other issues.

1) the original sender will need to know if the its modem is working and if
the other modem is responding.  Then it will need to send data...and
hopefully will know that it is doing so and sending all the data
2) after it sends data, the other modem will send it some data to confirm
that it got something....

this stuff is very complicated and I have not investigated everything until
I know how to do the transfer stuff at all.  And it has to be VERY
private...no way it could/should be sent per the internet.... legally this
would be a problem but I may even have a stronger opinion than the legal
guys.

Oh yeah....an early mention about     LineRecieved....I did not write this
code but I do know about the spelling.....but, I am the dummy.

The Dummy,
