dial-up from python script

[Jon Van DeVries]

I want to create a simple script that dials my modem to whatever number I specify.
Any tips on modules to be used? google didn't help much this time.

Platform: SuSE 10.1 Linux 2.6.x (but since it will be done in Python, I'm assuming it doesn't matter what platform I'm using right?)

thanks in advance,

PySerial?


Dialing a modem typically is just a case of sending the string "ATDT
#########" to the modem. Modems normally appear as a serial port.
