I am currently bringing up a network of Un*x machines connected
via 1200-baud modems (running uucp) and have an interesting problem.
The system being replaced used Racal-Vadic 3455's, which are 3400
protocol only (and not upgradable, according to the manufacturer).
These modems were not autodial; they're auto-answer, manual originate.
Racal Vadic modems in the 3xxx series can only pulse dial, and I need
to tone-dial for various reasons. Therefore, I have to go to 212-type
protocol modems (of which type Racal-Vadic makes a very nice autodialer
called the 212-LC that does tone-dialing, by the way). My problem is:
What do I do with all (eight or so) of those 3455's? They all work
fine, and would be very useful for anyone already using 3400 protocol
and needing an auto-answer modem.
If there's anyone who has a use for them (and some money, of course),
please let me know. Thanks.
