Sorry about not answering my "other" thread, which seems to have gotten a lot of replies. I will answer it, but I am still kind of jittery about it getting so many responses. I need to calm down, so I can make decent well thought out replies.

Anyways, now to the topic at hand.

I am looking for a Perl Module which will allow me to talk to my modem, dial out numbers, and maybe send data in the X.25 protocal. This is for hobby purposes, and I have no maliscous intents (so that should clear the ethical issues to those who know what the hell I am talking about).

I know Perl can interact with C/C++ in various module form, and well, I am actually asking for a CPAN modem as I have no idea what to do when talking to my modem.

If there are no CPAN modules, could somebody point me to the appropiate man pages, and various other forms of docs? Even if you could give me a good query string for google I would be happy
