    Question CTRL+C How do you...

    I am working with an amateur radio modem and I need to have my C program output a "CTRL+C" (Not From the keyboard) to the modem. This will allow me to change the operating mode of the modem. If anyone could show me how to do this I would really appreciate the help.

    Or decimal 3 or octal 3.
    Code:
    putchar(3);
    printf("ctrl-c \003!");
    putc(0x03, stderr);
    dwk
