What would be the best choice for a dial in modem for the following situation: - Four or eight ports - (relative) Immunity from surges and spikes on the phone lines - 300/600/1200/2400 baud - software control by unix shell or c programs - small footprint (we have no machine room for the 3B, it's sitting on a desk!) I already asked about BBS software and was told about Uniaccess and Pico-span. Any experiences/adventures/advice with dial-in HW/SW would be appreciated. We currently have an 8 port Racal-Vadic on our PDP but it's only 1200 baud and must be rack mounted. This system will (possibly) be used by a majority of the Pharmacists in the state of PA so room for easy expansion is another consideration. Thanks! Andy Wing
