Unfortunately, you're now dealing with something outside of the MSComm control's venue - it grants access to the modem via the port, but it doesn't know a thing about your modem. You'll need the details of the modems command set to handle this via the MSComm control, and then you'll be tied to a specific modem implementation.

You'd probably be better off investigating TAPI (Microsoft's Telephony API, which -does- understand compliant modems and the like; it's not a low-level port protocol, relying on information from the modem drivers to provide a common interface for telephony-related tasks, rather than serial device interface related tasks.) Try www.activex.com (literally thousands of ActiveX controls, some free, some shareware, some limited demo versions, with varying levels of support available), or www.componentsource.com, a very reliable vendor of add-on products for developers. They provide demo versions of many of the products that they sell, provide compatibility matrixes to make sure that the product can support the environment you're trying to work with, and you have some competent tech support available for many of the products they sell.
