- I just want to connect the Amiga to one of the PC's comm ports and have
- access to the internal modem. The Amiga would react asif the PC were just
- an external modem. The PC would route data to/from the comm port and the
- internal modem. Absolutely no software would be needed on the Amiga side
- other than the normal online software.
-
- You are the first I have heard of to try this. How did you attempt to do it?
- How did it fail? It seems to me you could just have a program read the
- input of the comm port(the Amiga's commands) and write it to the modem.
- Then read the modem's info(incomming data) and send it out through the comm
- port to the Amiga.
-
- Are there timing problems?It seems to me you could perform all the copy
- commands in the program as fast as possible as long as no data was repeated.

- Thanks for the help, but everything is set fine, it is the hardware limiting
- my software choice and the software is no good. I have Twin Express to get
- downloaded software to the Amiga, but I want use of that darn modem.
-
- I used to have a P133/32MB with a 33.6 but I traded it for my current Amiga
- after my other Amiga died. This is a spare parts computer with no floppy
- and no CD. I happened to have a drive with DOS 6.22, Windoze 3.11 and old
- internet softs on it. I downloaded Netscape 3.01 but it was too memory
- hungry, and crashed constantly. My IP said this can be a problem with only
- 8MB. So I am now useing the old buggy Intergo dialer, TCP, and mail with
- Internet Explorer for a browser. If I had this program I could put it in
- the autoexec.bat and just turn on the PC, no PC monitor or other crap, when
- I was going online with my wonderful Amiga, just as if it were a modem
-
- I know the obvious thing is to upgrade the PC or buy another modem for the
- Amiga but I have no money! I WILL NOT buy anything for a PC. I plan to buy
- a very nice modem for the Amiga, but that will have to wait, as my children
- need to eat for some strange reason. :-P
-
- Also, wouldn't this help alot of people with both PC's and Amiga's who would
- rather only buy one modem? Internal modems are quite cheap compared to
- externals. It could help get more Amiga's on the net.
-
- I know that on a mailing list full of programmers, SOMEBODY can pull this
- off.
