    Hello ALL!

    I just jumped on this echo and was looking through some of the posts from the last six months.

    I would like to share some of my experiences.

    In my wifes apartment we have time warner cable and a cable modem with a D- Link router attached I have magic jacks plus installed on the router RJ45 ports
    and am using them for telephone and fax use.I am getting ready to try a magic jack will a modem, will update after testing. I have a smart phone with a hot spot on it and use it with my laptop to tight VNC and Telnet into my machines when on the road. You can install Mozilla Firefox on any machine reguardless of
    OS and download one of two or three telnet add ons. then you can telnet from the browser ( telnet://xxx.xxxxxx.xxx ). It works great and looks a lot better than other telnet clients.

    Later,
    Bill

    Hello all!


    NEED Help fron a couple of volunteers!

    I am trying to test my modem setup so I can report the results in the COMM Echo as I promised a few weeks ago.

    I have a unique setup, it is a magicjack attached to a switch port on my network, a USR Sportster 28800 hooked to it and to com 1 on a ubuntu box. I am running a WINXP VM on the ubuntu box and Have D'Bridge in a DOS box doing the sending and receiving.

    I have been testing it with Mark Lewis. As of this afternoon after writing a Modem Control file for DB and opening up the com ports to 115200 I was able to get a 19200 connect. FYI here are two log excerpts from this afternoon.

    I still need some folks to dial
    in to check out the inbound connect rates.

    Any help you can give would be much appreciated. My POTS number is not in the nodelist but I plan on having one in there soon. My current POTS number is listed below and accessible 24/7. I can also accept crash mail at my INA listing.

    Please send me a netmail if you would like to assist.

    Thanks in advance.

    Bill
