I need to retrieve a modem events, such as AA,CD,TxD,RxD,DTR,DSR... etc. How can I do it?
When I use OPEN "COM3:" FOR... and try to read something, the VB will freeze. I think there is a better method to communicate with modem, isn't?

You might want to try and use the mscomm control supplied with VB it has methods for opening, closing and writing to com ports.
How can I retrieve the phone number of an incomming call? :confused:
I'm not a telephone expert (not even close) but the caller ID function that your looking maybe included in TAPI. TAPI is a telephone API. I'm not sure where to find it, but I'm sure you could search the web for it. I'd start on Microsofts web site.

Good Luck.
Thanks for your post!
For caller ID, I have found great ActiveX control 'ModemCID' on a www.netpoint.co.uk
And for my first question: can anybody show me a simple example, how to retriev e.g. AA status from my modem?
