3317.0. "RS232 Amiga port and PC S/W" by ULYSSE::ZITTA (ETTS - Network Support - Valbonne) Wed Jan 10 1990 14:22

    
    	Hi,
    
    	Is it possible to make this work together :
    
    	- An Amiga 2000 with Bridgeboard
    	- A Modem (Telsat 1246B) connected to the RS232 port at the
    	back of the AMIGA 2000 with a full modem cable .
    	- A VT100 emulator ON THE PC SIDE (I believe I can get something
    	called QMODEM or so).                           
    
    	Thanks,
    
    		Gerard

    Re: .0
    
    No, unfortunately not. But this is more a fault of 99% of the MS-DOS
    applications ignoring the RS232 BIOS calls than CBM engineering
    ignorance or incompetence.
    You'll better go and get a cheapo serial card for the PC side and
    a serial line switch box for the modem...

    Re: .0, .1
    
    Or even better, save your money and get hold of the VLT VT100 emulator
    on the Amiga side. Or Handshake, if you want/need VT220...
