Hello John!
   You wrote in a message to John Kelley:

 JG> Use this function to monitor the carrier:

 JG> DEFINT A-Z
 JG> FUNCTION Carrier  'returns false if no carrier

 JG> BaseAddress = &H3F8  '&H2F8 for com 2

  Not Needed -->  DEF SEG = &H40
 JG> Carrier = ((INP(BaseAddress + 6) AND 128) >= &H80)

    Next Line does the same thing..
 Carrier = (INP(BaseAddress + 6) AND &h80) > 0
  Not Needed -->  DEF SEG

 JG> END FUNCTION

 DEFINT A-Z
 FUNCTION Carrier(Port) ' returns false (0) if no carrier
 Select Case Port
    CASE 1: BaseAddress = &H3F8
    case 2: BaseAddress = &H2F8
    CASE 3: BaseAddress = &H3E8
    CASE 4: BaseAddress = &H2E8
    CASE ELSE: BaseAddress  = Port
            'For Those PS/2 types out there or Weird ones
 End Select
 Carrier = (INP(BaseAddress + 6) AND &h80) > 0
 END FUNCTION


 Catcha Later , I'll see you on the flip side - Rob
