[comp.sys.amiga] parallel port modem...

hansb@ariel.unm.edu (Hans Bechtel) (12/15/87)

I was kind of curious on a certain possibility..

On an earlier Fred Fish disk, there was a listing on how to interface
an ibm pc with the amiga through the parallel port and send data
19.2k baud back and forth.

Has somebody yet created a modem that allows use of the parallel port
amoung amiga computers or others?

I would think that you could allow many more "serial" ports using the
parallel port, and at least expand the capability of more modem
hookup over the phone lines...

I have a feeling that there might be a software problem right at first,
but with everybody on the net writing excellent software, that would
solve that problem.  I am not a hardware hacker so I do not
know if this will work or not.  

Please reply on the net as a general post so everybody has a chance
to respond.
