Hello,

Apologies for the semplicity of the question (or the banality) but I
don't really have a clue about it.

The problem.

I have an application which reads data from a serial port (say com2).
The data comes from a remote site, so I have to dial in.

How do I dial in to a remote modem and allow applications read the data
the
comes on that port ?

Hyperterminal, for instance, takes off the port so your application
won't see that port.

The question:

Is it possible to use any  modem command from DOS to tell the modem
to dial in without taking the port off ?

Thanks a lot in advance.
C.
