> It’s been slow for me for a month. Started a new job and the guys that I’m supposed to be working with are so busy that they don’t have time to train me till after the first. I can’t just do nothing so I grabbed a modem project I heard them talking about, getting different modems to interface properly with a BASIC card. I think I’ve got it all sorted out, down to just having to get the BASIC to write an AT string properly to the new modem. The only problem is I don’t know BASIC. Anybody know where I can get a decent n00b guide to BASIC?

What version of BASIC, there are so many variations out there. Also [planetsourcecode.com](http://planetsourcecode.com) might have a few sample terminal apps if it’s VB.
