It's always the same thing. The modem blinks at the PortOpen command and that's it. It worked twice out of 40 tries. The modem is fine. I can send faxes from Word and all is well. Even if it does not in VFP, I just switch to Word to do a test and it always work. However, I can't understand why OutBufferCount returns 0 right after the OutPut line. Isn't it suppose to contain to number of bytes waiting to be sent?
