I have a question that someone on the net may be able to help me with. I have a requirement to "network" two computers via a telephone circuit, a 3002 type. These computers "talk" to each other using their networking ports and using TCP/IP. We went out and leased a pair of Gandalf LDM419's, we are running the modems in Asynch, single channel at 9.6Kbps. They don't work, that is to say I am unable to pass data in the TCP/IP format through them. We have them set up in the computer room with a short piece of phone wire between them. This eliminates the phone circuit as a possible problem. The vendor sent his tech out to "check us out" and he verified that we had the modems configured properly. The really strange part is that a pair of LDS120's worked fine. THe vendor indicates that the LDS'S are "bit transparent" . I have a lot more information concerning our set-up and the computer equipment, but I won't tie up the net trying to ex- plain it all. If anyone has modems that they are currently using to pass data in TCP/IP format or can explain why ours don't work, please send me mail or give me a call.
