Is it possible to share a modem, installed in a 3.4-R box, with other computers on LAN? I don't mean for establishing PPP link to an ISP. What I need is to share the device itself, for faxing and dialing BBS's. I need it to be done "transparently" for the applications, i.e. I want apps on my workstation to be able to work with the modem as if it were a local comm port. What would be involved in settin this up? Thanks! -- Arcady Genkin http://wgaf.dyndns.org "'What good is my pity? Is not the pity the cross upon which he who loves man is nailed?..'"
