I have a database application that has to have some communication capability. Basically, there are two separate PC systems, both running a dedicated Dbase application. They need to share data over comm line made of modems and phone lines. The question I have is this, what commercial or PD software is available for performing the comm function. I want the interface to the comm s/w to be programatic (procedures I can customize and call, w/o user interaction). True, serial i/o is simple and it could be easily and quickly written, but I want to use a more standard transfer protocol, such as Xmodem/CRC, Kermit etc. Something that will handle retransmission etc. Note that the "data" may not necessarily come from a file. I'd also like to send a given number of bytes from a particular address in memory. I greatly appreciate any information that helps me solve my problem.

Adcomm99 (which is available from the Programmer's Connection) can do what you're looking for. We've got one here and it has just what you're looking for. Cheap too - only around $99 US or so. note - I am in now way connected with Adcomm, Programmer's connection, or any fragmentation thereof. I just had their stuff in house and it works. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Timothy D.
