The docs says:

"You get a handle for this by using the GEMDOS-Fopen-function called with 
the name "U:\DEV\MODEM1". (C-Programmers: double the backslashs). This 
will work if DRVIN (and the driver) is installed, under MiNT, unter MagiC."

I've always believed that this means that HS-Modem only supported u:\dev if
the OS already did so, and that you otherwise had to Fopen() the standard
GEMDOS-devices (AUX). Have I misunderstood something? (Please tell me I 
haven't, I *hate* being wrong and I'm an incredibly poor looser...)
