[net.dcom] UDS 9600

schoff@rpics.UUCP (Martin Lee Schoffstall) (08/27/85)

I am thinking about acquiring two of the model9600's for a voice grade
2 mile leased line from NYNEX.  The line would be point to point with
no dialing/ringing.  My intentions is to do TCP/IP over this asynchronous
connection.....

Does anyone have any experience with the UDS9600?

We used a pair of UDS9600s to run SLIP over a nailed-up dialup connection
until we retired it recently with a 56Kb DDS link. Since the UDS9600s are
half duplex synchronous modems, we had to use the companion ECUs (error
control units) between our asynch ports and the modems.  The link worked
well, most of the time, except that the ECUs would have an apparent protocol
lockup every day or two. Redialing the link would cure (temporarily) this
problem.
