RE: (PM) Analog Dialout Dilemma (Not a Location)

I'm not using a location to dialout -- I'm actually using the
PortMaster's modems like modems on my PC. Therefore, you can't just say
'set loc analog off' because there is no location. Basically here's the
situation:

- I have a driver on my PC - Dialout/IP from Tactical Software. It
makes my PC think I have a third communications port.
- The Dialout/IP driver interfaces via TCP/IP to my PortMaster. I setup
a port on my PM3, 6002 for example, to answer incoming telnets and
connect me directly to a modem. If you were able to telnet to port 6002
of the PM3, you would be able to enter AT commands and even dialout,
just as if you were using a regular modem connected to your PC.
- In closing, the PortMaster is not using locations, users, etc to
dialout -- it's using the AT commands my PC connected to the network
sends it. Therefore, I can't turn 'analog on' because I have no
interface or port to assign the analog value. Yes, I could turn it on
for a particular modem, but that wouldn't work in my situation, because
modems & ports don't neccessarily run sequentially. (ex: S0 does not
equal M0 & S1 does not mean M1)

Thanks

Clayton
