Thank you everyone for your suggestions. I eventually managed to do it.
It turned out that it was not the need to use setserial (which I was
doing), but rather I needed to have serial.c (I am still not sure why).
I also needed to change my modem to COM3, as it seems COM4 is treated
differently.
Once again, Thanks All,
David
