Hi Folks,
I was wondering,
Is there a company that manufactures PASSIVE modem?
When I say Passive modem I mean a modem that does not broadcast at all, only
receive, this is useful for a third party to listen to the other two parties
without making things messy.
to make a long story short.
A and B are speaking, C wants to hear, but C can't do that with a normal modem
since a normal modem will respond to received broadcast. I want C only to listen
.


Thanks for replies.

Michael.
