Hi All, I just picked up a few ISDN modems at the local bankruptcy auction.. They are Motorola units, 2 TA120Ks and one UTA220K.. I couldn't get much info on the 120's , but I found out that the 220 is 128k dual channel with a D channel and integral NT1.. Sounds pretty impressive. What I would like to do is fairly simple.. I want to use this to set up one of my 3000T-040 machines on the net, so customers could see current inventory, what was new, special etc.. We already have a system set-up, that handles all the incoming lines, voice info, and centrex (PhonePaks and ARexx.. Amiga, just gotta love it!!). We also plan to use Enlan DFS with NetRexx to link this to another Amiga which will handle outgoing Fax-Info.. This Enlan DFS stuff is real easy to set-up and use.. it has been running on a net with 3 machines for about 1.5 months now, and we have had no trouble with it at all.. No crashes no weirdness nothing.. the Phone sys is on 24hrs 7days, the other machines on and off at random, and we haven't re-booted the phone system the entire time.. So this is why I want to set up our net-stuff on Amiga.. this way the Voice-info/centrex system, the Fax-info system, and the Net-info system could all be looking at the same files.. and Arexx can handle all the little chores, like changing the information in these files, and making new voice messages, to match what is happening in the database.. It took about 5-6 months in my spare time to learn Arexx well enough to build the suite of programs that handles the phone lines, and actually makes the messages and menus by reading text files.. So I'm not looking to learn UNIX and then try and figure out how to link it to ARexx and the other stuff.. I'm real sure I can build this entire setup using ARexx, I just need some Amiga stuff that will be a front end to the net, and have ARexx Port(s) so Info can change on the fly. If anyone knows, or sells any Real Easy stuff to use Amiga as an ftp site, a web site, or both, I would really like to know about it.. I Really don't care about real fancy web pages or anything like that.. But most of the re-sellers who buy from us are even more Unix-Impaired than I am.. So It looks like I will almost be forced to do some stuff with the point and click interface that show up on netscape compuserve and aol.. Any info / help / hints would be most appreciated.. Especially any info regarding any special hardware/software needed to talk to the Motorola ISND hardware.. Absolute worst case is I'll use them from home to biz, and from biz to net.. maybe the 2 120s between home and the office, and then the 220 between the office and some net provider.. If it makes any dif.. Phone system is 3000T-030 4PhonePaks and 2065.. System at desk1 3000T-040 Emplant Vortex EGS GVP-I/O 2065.. System to send faxes and use at desk2 3000D with PP040 2PhonPaks. and 2065.. system available for net stuff 3000T-040.. Towers using 3.1 desktop is 2.04 but will probably be upgraded..
