Uh, if you have to use MDMBUF with your modem, either:
	(1) your modem is Old, or
	(2) you have a Bad cable (or completely tweaked serial ports;
	    i think some Macs may have these, but you didn't say
	    on what _kind_ of serial port you were hoping to use it).

The only time i've used MDMBUF (and the reason that i wrote the code for
it) was to easily deal with older terminals that use DTR/DCD flow
control...

It's not something that you really should be using on a modem, if at
all possible, because it means that you can't get carrier detect.
