I could see RetroNet pondering an additional service in the future that
is effectively a virtual serial port (more below) that connects to a
virtual modem that can interconnect with other virtual modems as if they
called each other. I think something like this could be made to work
across IP interconnections provided by RetroNet.
This is obviously beyond the original ideas of RetroNet, which we want
to get working first. But if there's sufficient interest in people
being able to ""call each other over a (virtual) modem, then I think we
should put it on the desired features list.
There are a number of options that can create a virtual serial port that
connects across networks. I think we can even connect a physical serial
port (possibly even via RS-232 serial to USB adapters that can be
connected to physical machines).
So if this is something that you're interested in, please let us know.
This might be a good place to ""forward the virtual modem discussion to
the RetroNet mailing list.
TUHS has been very gracious and a lot of people have shown interest.
But we don't want to wear out our welcome. ():-)
To that end, please subscribe to the RetroNet mailing list to continue
discussing details about the virtual modems.
