Prehaps a little off topic, but I'll take a stab at it.
I'm interested in stories of people using PM2's for users
other than dialin remote access, with modems attached to the serial ports.
Perhaps as:
A true terminal server, with Dumb terminals attached to the Sx ports.
A dialout pool for corporate dial out ppp access.
Has anybody been able to share a modem from a PC through the
ethernet and establish an outbound PPP conecction on the PC. This
would require off course a virtual serial driver on the PC.
A dialout FAX modem pool.
Sending faxes from a PC's on an ethernet. Also would require a
virtual serial driver, or possible a UNIX faxserver (faximum,hylafax,etc).
Also FAX software on the PC being able to print to the virtual serial
driver.
UPS monitoring with UPS's connected to the Sx ports.
Floppy duplicator. I remember a thread some months ago about
someone who got flamed when asking about duplicating disks on the list.
Door Stop
...
...
ad infinitum
I know, I know some of what I mentioned are longshots, but just wondering
what other uses people are getting out of the PM2's
I will summarize;
regards;
Felipe
