Re: parallel port modems, there's quite a useful article at
http://www.strom.com/pubwork/cw294.html
which includes the following:
<quote>
The drivers that map the parallel port to the standard serial
communications ports are only available for Windows: if you are
still using any DOS-based communications programs (such as the DOS
cc:Mail remote software that we use or "Classic" Crosstalk XVI from
DCA), then you will have to connect the modems the old-fashioned
way via the serial port and lose the advantages of parallel-port
throughput.
...
Microcom uses the Microsoft standard driver. Finally, while we found
it admirable that Xircom tries to support the DOS user with its modem,
the list of exceptions and incompatiblities is so long that most of us
will turn to Windows when it comes time to communicate.
