connecting to a modem from python

[yaipa h.]

Kossay,

Click the "Search only in comp.lang.python.*  radio button under the
search text input box, then search on "modem" and you will get PAGES of 
listings. You may want to sort by "DATE."

Also, you can use the AT command set and Hyperterm that ships with 
all Windows platforms to get an understanding of what is needed to roll
your own.

A good python serial module is found here,
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyserial/
an example of its use can be found by searching pyserial in the same way
as above.
