Thanks, but I'd prefer to write it myself.  Found a list of Hayes-
compatible commands,
and now I'm stuck on exactly how to put them in a batch file so that
the modem knows I'm
speaking to it.

BTW, the application is to turn on and turn off Vonage's Do Not
Disturb feature.
It would be nice if Vonage let me a schedule on my user control panel,
but they don't, so I
am just going to have a spare laptop power up from standby mode, dial
the numbers, and
then go back to sleep.
