Phil, We have been using the Trailblazer modem with great success here at Software Ventures. MicroPhone II supports hardware handshake, and its VT100/102 emulation has been greatly improved. VI, Emacs, All-In-One, etc. no longer give MicroPhone fits. The scripting language is vastly more powerful now. Variables, expression analyzer, etc. There is support for Kermit and Kermit servers as well. <Just so you know this up front.> The character throughput at 9600, though faster now, is still not going to be 9600. Also, we do not support VT220. MicroPhone II has a new feature called "modem drivers." This allows MicroPhone II to work seamlessly with modems that do not use the defacto standard command set. We already have a modem driver for the Telbit Trailblazer. With a Trailblazer, we have been able to repeatedly obtain file transfer speeds of 18,000 bps using the YModem-G protocol on coast-to-coast calls. +------------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Dave Newman |david_alan_newman@cup.portal.com | | Software Ventures Corp. | | +------------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Disclaimer: We are the manufactuer for MicroPhone 1.1 & II. | | Any opinion expressed here about MicroPhone is certainly | | biased! | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+
