Hi all!
I just purchased a US Robotics sportster 14400 Fax/Data
modem for our Sun network.  I need a little help on a
couple of items.

1) I want to be able to access the modem in command mode
and be able to issue AT commands or dial out.  From what
I understand tip is the beasty I'm after but it complains 
that all ports are busy.

2) I would like to be able to control access to this modem,
either at the group or user level.  Too many times I've
called when important deadlines need to be met and its busy
because someone is busy downloading there collection of
image files from alt.sex.all.things.great.and.small

If anyone could give me pointers or information I would
appreciate it.  You can reply here or to my email address:

jderyck@engn.uwindsor.ca

Thanks!
