    Check to see if phone is busy.

    Hi There,

    I want to check if a phone (modem, ISDN) connected to my computer is available or not, so I can see if I can make a call or not.
    It doesn't have to be connected to the internet, but it could also be that I am calling to another person with this device (now why would I do that? ).

    Greetz,
    Bart

    PS: I tried it this way, but I heard this doesn't work with ISDN:
    Code:
    Public Function ModemBusy(iComPortNo As Integer) As Boolean
    
       Dim iFreeFile As Integer
    
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandling
    
       iFreeFile = FreeFile()
    
       ' Open the communications port.
       Open "COM" & iComPortNo & ":" For Output As #iFreeFile
       ' Send attention (AT).
       Print #iFreeFile, "AT"
       ModemBusy = False
    
    ExitGracefully:
    On Error Resume Next
    
       ' Close the port.
       Close #iFreeFile
    
       Exit Function
    
    ErrorHandling:
       ModemBusy = True
       Resume ExitGracefully
    
    End Function
