Re: Modem-to-Modem connection

"Modem Com Port rather then the Serial Ports that it normally would."

You are aware that you can connect two computers via a null modem cable
connected to the respective COM ports, yes?

Applications that you regularly use with MODEMS don't require MODEMS to
operate. The MODEMS are there to A) translate the DIGITAL OUTPUT from the
COM port into an ANALOG signal for transmission over POTS (Plain Old
Telephone Service) & B) Translate the ANALOG signal into DIGITAL INPUT for
the COM port.

The HAYES COMMAND set includes commands to facilitate POTS, but POTS is NOT
essential.

Now, your APPLICATION is KEY. And your description of it was missing.
Moreover, your decryption of the intended task(s) lacked specificity. In
general, if the two apps will work (as you intend) over POTS, they should
work with a direct connection.

If you need to use "DOS," insert the commands into a batch file and include
a call to the application within the batch file so that "calling" the batch
file issues any commands to COM1 and then immediately starts your
application. Many apps provide a provision for including a "startup" set of
commands or a "macro" that can be called by adding a parameter [like
" -startfile"] to the command line that calls the application.

Sample DOS BATCH FILE:

ECHO OFF
ECHO (AT COMMAND) > COM1
APPLICATION.EXE - STARTFILE
EXIT

Hope this helps

Establish the connection and then pass that connection off to another
program that operates over com ports. Basicly I want to give another
application that does not have a built in dialer the option of useing a
Modem Com Port rather then the Serial Ports that it normaly would.

You can't without a phone line. Are they in separate locations and
will connect by phone line? Then it could be done, at v.34 speeds.

Otherwise, if they are at the same location, one of the best ways to
connect PCs together is with network cards and a crossover cable, or
router, switch or hub. But I don't know if a network connection will
do what you want with your application.
