On an earlier Fred Fish disk, there was a listing on how to interface an ibm pc with the amiga through the parallel port and send data 19.2k baud back and forth. Has somebody yet created a modem that allows use of the parallel port amoung amiga computers or others? I would think that you could allow many more "serial" ports using the parallel port, and at least expand the capability of more modem hookup over the phone lines... I have a feeling that there might be a software problem right at first, but with everybody on the net writing excellent software, that would solve that problem. I am not a hardware hacker so I do not know if this will work or not. Please reply on the net as a general post so everybody has a chance to respond.
