Hello,
I would love to try RH4.0 but don't want to invest the time/money if
I can't get it to work with my present connection.
I am at the University of New Hampshire and they set it up like this:
Connect through a serial port (25 or 9pin -I am using 25) to the server.
The server is always 'listening' it has an autoprotocol detect going
Or I can send 4 carriage returns and get a prompt at which I can
enter garbage then a <cr> then enter in a start ppp command and a <cr>
Presently I use what I've been given - a slightly modified version
of trumpet winsock. I can't get it to work with Win95 cause there is
no 'null-modem' modem driver.... I have been trying to use a 'fake'
modem .inf file to trick Dial-Up Networking into thinking it is a
modem but with no success as of yet - but that is another ball of wax.
The million dollar question:
So can I make this work with RH4.0 without a herculean effort
on my part?
I greatly appreciate any help/advice you can offer.
Thanks again,
Hans Johnson
