Re: Multiple modems: Threads required?

I want to write a program that will use a modem. I was thinking about designing it so that the user can use more than one modem at once with only one instance of the application running. My question is, would I need to use threads to do this? 

Entirely depends on your implementation.
You will need threads if the way you access the modems
is blocking (e.g. "read one byte" doesn't return until
a byte is actually recieved).
