You need to open, write to, and close the serial port, which works just 
as if it were a file. See the "open file", "write" and "close file" 
commands in the dictionary for starters. There were some discussions on 
this list about writing data to a modem too, a while back; you might 
want to do a list search for "modem" or "write to modem" for starters.
