There is a cdev that comes along with the Teleport modem that lets you configure it. It can either "pretend" to be the modem port or the printer port or be usable via the comm toolbox (CTB). In the non-comm tooolbox cases, the comm programs think they are talking to the standard modem/printer port serial drivers. With the comm toolbox, the comm programs talk directly to the Teleport modem. This only works if the commm program is CTB aware. -- michael -- Michael Peirce -- {apple,decwrl}!claris!outpost!peirce -- Peirce Software -- Suite 301, 719 Hibiscus Place -- Macintosh Programming -- San Jose, California 95117 -- and Consulting -- (408) 244-6554
