I'm curious why are they both running on the same COM port?
In hopes that the printers output would be received by the modems input.

It has been quite a while since the old ymodem/xmodem ansi style protocols, which is what I grew up with. I have since lost the art of null modems and protocols.

Wouldn't you need a serial modem for that to work? Some sort of serial/parallel problem?
I have a serial db25(rs232) modem on its way. A good old us robotics.

This concept is for an autodial w/ Avaya phone systems used by my emergency call center. Originally (with Inter-tel) we were able to send out the at commands via serial to a phone adater board, which in turn sent at commands to the phone. (basically a modem interface among other things). We are hoping to achieve the same effect via a modem (which we were told would work, but can't seem to pull any docs from them).


So, that is the reason for this somewhat odd request.

I hope to avoid having to do driver or protocol programming, but it is always an option.


thanks,
