How to code for receiving data via modem?

I had an app in VB 6 that was being used to receive data automatically from
callers using a modem - not via the internet, via dedicated phone lines. I
now need to do the same thing but using .Net managed code using VB.NET.

Can anyone point me to sample code on how to do this?

I would also like to be able to use multi-modems ie a modem that has
built-in connections for several phone lines. I don't even know where to
find these, does anyone have any idea who makes these?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

RD
