subject: 2 (or 3) Serial ports to one and ba

SA>  Hello..

 SA>   I was wondering, Is there a device around that will let me do this...



 SA>  COM1--\                                               /--COM1

 SA>         Device----Modem----Phoneline----Modem----Device

 SA>  COM2--/                                               \--COM2



 SA>   What I want to do is get 2 (or 3) serial ports over 1 phone line and

 SA> seperate the data to the right ports at the end.



Wouldnt you have to use the TCP/IP protocol, so that you can have

numerous streams of data (say 2 different files coming at once)

then have software redirect the right file to the right com port



Dont know about this, but Microsoft's NT 4.0 will (do the opposite)

let you run any number of modems connected to the same site both ends

(different phone lines) download the same file, similar to a RAID system.

So if you have say 4 modems and 4 phone lines, you can down load the

one file 4 times as fast.

                                                

                /----modem---phoneline-----modem----\

file upload --/------modem---phoneline-----modem------\ ----file download

              \------modem---phoneline-----modem------/

                \----modem---phoneline-----modem----/
