using other machine's modem

[Guest dijxtra]

Hello everybody,

 

Is there a way to use modem on machine A from machine B?

 

We have computer A with a modem and this program named Witerm (bought

from wilmers.com) which uses good old dial-up modem on COM port to

connect to some GSM stations which then tell him what is speed of

wind. Then I have computer B which doesn't have a dial-up modem and

which is connected with computer A by TCP/IP LAN.

 

Now we would like to move our program to computer B. Our program does

not use IP for communicating so we cannot just route traffic through

computer A. What we need to do is make program on computer B use modem

on COM port of computer A. Is that even possible?

 

Regards,

nick

I suppose you could do this with ICS, but why don't you just install a PCI

modem in computer B? Or use an external modem attached to computer B? That

would seem simpler to me. You can buy a PCI modem for under $30. I haven't

checked out the prices of external modems for years but they certainly

aren't that expensive.

Hello,

Send me your software to analyze his working.

If his accesses use the windows API it is possible to use an COM

emulator via LAN.

But if his accesses are direct in the material layer that is more

difficult.

Send me your zip program at hlpfree@gmail.com

Bye
