Is anyone aware of any software (hopefully ShareWare/PD) that supports the Hayes Synchronous Interface (HSI)? This software will allow it's users to communicate synchronously without having a synchronous adapter. I have a Hayes V-series 9600 and am interested in utilizing this feature. I am also interested in any ShareWare/public domain software that will communicate with a synchronous adapter - basically a synchronous terminal program. These are two separate software queries. Thanks for any pointers! Thomas Boehler

Most applications for synchronous communications involve connecting to X.25 networks or IBM mainframes -- and these are applications which are generally viewed as being commercial, and not shareware. I don't know of ANY shareware/PD programs that use HSI/HSD. Hayes has a long list of companies that produce a wide range of HSI/HSD compatible software; I recommend you call Hayes Customer Service at 404-441-1617, or call the Online with Hayes BBS at 800-874-2937 (your VSM9600 will connect at 9600, too!) > I am also interested in any ShareWare/public domain software that > will communicate with a synchronous adapter - basically a synchronous > terminal program. Again, given the nature of the synchronous applications, I don't know of any shareware/PD software that works directly with a sync adapter, either. -- Toby Nixon, Principal Engineer | Voice +1-404-840-9200 Telex 151243420 Hayes Microcomputer Products Inc. | Fax +1-404-447-0178 CIS 70271,404 P.O.
