Is anyone using a Trailblazer with a multiplexor to enable many terminals to
use one line to a site.
Most I have seen are using leased lines, and it seems dialups would save a lot
of money on monthly bills.
I called Telebit and they said they had one company that had tested the TB's
with their multiplexor. The company was called Backus Data. I called an got
a referal to a company called Astronautics, and they said no one there could
help but call next week.
I have never heard of either of the above - and with companies coming and
going so often in this business I would be a bit hesitant to recommend
something I hadn't heard of unless others could convince me.
Any recommendations. TB said it wont work with a stat mux, but might work
with a time division mux.

Telebit has taken a half duplex modem design and through inspired software design made a modem for uucp and certain other applications that is without peer. However, this application may not be best done with a Trailblazer. I would suggest you use a full duplex modem for this application. Several companies make such a modem, some being V.32, but many are not. Since you have little experience with data communications integration It might be wise to purchase the multiplexer and modem from the same mfr. to assure compatibility and ultimate success. A partial list of manufacturers to consider: Multitech, Gandalf, Datarace, Fujitsu, Codex, UDS What are proposing makes perfect sense, and is often done. Be sure to check out your local telephone companies local calling rates, and perhaps rates on a leased digital channel, too. Costs for local calls will not always remain as cheap as they are today. Good luck.
