You'd probably stand a better chance using something like TCP/IP. It's more
likely that you'll find the TCP stack implemented on the DOS machine than
ADSP. Also, I'm pretty sure there are DOS TCP drivers that can be  "routed"
to speak over various hardware devices, including serial, AT, or ethernet.
(Why can't the Mac do this?)

Does anybody know of a card + software product that can enable a PC to
use the ADSP(Apple Data Streem Protocol) ?

I would like to hook a Mac and a PC and have info transmitted via AT and it
seems ADSP is the best way to do that . Does anybody have a better idea ?

Thanks !

Farallon (Emeryville, CA) has announced that they are doing work on ADSP
on the PC platform.  I don't know the specifics of their announcement (done
at the May Developer's Conference), but I'm sure they would be happy to 
talk to you.

I won't argue with you that TCP/IP would probably be better, cause we sell 
TCP/IP stuff for the Mac, but there are ADSP cards etc for the PC.  Try talking 
to Sitka, Farralon (yeck), and Dayna.  They are just some of the people who 
have AT type cards for the PC.

I was at a talk given by Thomas Rielly, Farallon's VP for Marketing
and he said that ADSP would be supported in an upcoming release of
their PhoneTalk system for PC's (basically AppleTalk on DOS).

If you're needs are really pressing, you might want to get in touch
with Farallon.
