	Upon further thought, I think that I should have stated my
needs a little clearer.  What I need is for the user to enter a search command
into the PC, then the PC calls up the Unix system and relays the search
command to a database, then captures the resultant information and sends
it back down to the PC.  I am not sure exactly how is the best way to do
this: have the Unix end save the info to a big file and just download it
to the PC, or maintain the connection and just send info record-by-record
as the user requests it, or what.  Something I would really be interested
in would be C source examples of PC-Unix communications via a modem.
Sorry that I did not make myself really clear on what I wanted.  If anyone
could provide more help, I would be grateful.
