hi there,
call it late :-) answer is better than none
i have the same question as you have
my guess:
win95: http://starship.python.net/crew/roger/SioModule
os2: also on starship
linux: ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/grante/python/
they are not platform independent
i used the lcom.py to get my own findings. so i can call the other modem and get a
connection.
that's it then, nothing works anymore.
have you got any clue?
thanks in before
olaf
