changes since 1.36:
1.48 Sun Jun 24 09:30:16 CEST 2007
- atsend() method made more reliable with longer commands (ex. longer
sms messages).
1.47 Thu Apr 20 22:16:17 CET 2006
- Sensible speedup in the command/response cycle.
1.46
1.45 Tue Nov 15 23:29:40 CET 2005
- Fixed dial() now it does not wait for timeout in presence of a valid
remote response (NO CARRIER, BUSY, ...)
- Fine tuned answer read cycle times
- Added constant $Device::Modem::WAITCMD for wait time before issuing
commands (atsend)
- Added patch to make Xmodem work from Aaron Mitti <amitti at 10east dot
com>.
- Now dial() accepts also '#' sign in numbers (thanks to Pierre Hilson).
1.44 Sat Apr 30 23:29:03 CET 2005
- (again) now cygwin and darwin platforms should be detected correctly.
- added a preliminary version of Device::Modem::UsRobotics module,
that allows to access voice/fax messages stored on your UsRobotics
message modem. Read the (incomplete) docs for more details.
1.42 Sun Sep 19 21:12:10 CET 2004
- little fix for correct MacOSX os detection and SerialPort inclusion
1.39
1.38
1.37 Wed Aug 18 09:21:50 CET 2004
- parse_answer() now in scalar context (string) returns *all* modem
answer instead of removing the last string (OK/ERROR/...)
- documented new example scripts: caller-id.pl and xmodem.pl
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between
being built against threaded perl and unthreaded perl, so bump the
PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

1.35
1.34 Sun Feb 22 18:12:54 CET 2004
- fixed CPAN bug #5131 (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5131)
- closed CPAN bug #5134 (https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=5134)
- dial() now should return correctly after a successful connect,
without unnecessarily waiting for timeout
- updated changes file missing in 1.35
1.33
1.32
1.31 Fri Jan 23 01:14:01 CET 2004
- Improved reliability in answer() method (sempre lui!),
that was more unstable due to recent changes.
- Documented _answer() internal function to get the raw modem reponse
instead of response string stripped of all cr/lf chars.
1.29
1.30 Sat Nov 8 18:23:02 CET 2003
- improved answer() method speed. Now it runs sensibly faster, but needs
explicit timeout parameter if you want to wait for answers (dialing
a remote modem, for example)
- implemented a basic xmodem file transfer. *DON'T KNOW IF IT WORKS*
- documentation now stays only in docs/ folder, separate from main module
- now there is a way to get the raw modem answers (internal _answer() method)
1.25

1.27
1.28 Sun May 18 17:19:23 CET 2003
- dial() now works as expected, returning the `CONNECT' or `BUSY'
or whatever message without hanging for minutes;
- answer() routine now is definitely more reliable than before:
now everytime the buffer receives input from modem, it does
not restart counting the timeout. Removed also the possibility
of infinite loop if modem always receives garbage chars (like
on a RAW PPP link);
- Added full documentation for every method;
- Added a FAQ document in new "docs/" folder;
- new(): added possibility to pass a custom log object as `log'
property;
- fixed log levels for File and Syslog plugins. Implemented
correct log level masking also for Syslog.
Device::Modem class implements basic AT (Hayes) compliant device
abstraction. It is meant to be inherited by sub classes (as Device::Gsm),
which are based on serial connections.
