I am trying to access the modem from c++. Any ideas how to do this. I have heard of Open Transport and ATA, but not sure if these are in OS X and I have also not been able to find any information on them from the docs or apples sites, with regards to OS X.

Thanks for any and all help on this.

I have never done this, but I believe that the place to start would be to look at Apple's IOKit. BTW, Open Transport no longer exists in OS X.

ATA is an interface for IDE drives, I think. Oh, and OpenTransport does still exist in the Carbon environment (even though it's probably just a shim to BSD sockets, but then all carbon is a shim ).

It should have read ARA

Also, I looked on apple's site for IOKit...is it there, or where can I get it/docs on it.

Thanks for all the help.

Try looking at http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/...el/kernel.html for what you need.

Looks like the IOkit is leaning towards a device drvier creation. I am looking for an API to control a generic interface to the connection.
