I've just got an external 56k modem manufated by atlantis and sold (at a really low price) by a free italian isp.
The problem is it's locked as you are not supposed to use it without the isp unlocking software it come with.
The unlocking procedure only consists in sending an 8 byte string to the modem.
If you give the wrong code more than 3 times the modem hangs untill switched off/on.
I've "guessed" the unlocking string in no time but now there's another problem:
the unlocking code needs to be send to the modem each time an application opens a handle to the modem (or to the com) port.
The question: how can i hook the modem, under win9x, so that i can unlock it before comunications? And under Linux?
Thanks,
