Greetings,
As part of my projects I am working on, I am seeking a serial modem that has support for DOS, WFW, and W98. I want to add modem functionality to my P3 DOS/Win PC. Once I buy an AWE64 Legacy and remove my SCC-1 (and use an external Sound Canvas and an MT-32 - I think they can be daisy chained,) I will have only one ISA slot, and I will probably put a NIC there (unless I find a parallel port to ethernet options that allows me to connect to my LAN.) I will eventually experiment with creating a BBS and I want to connect to existing BBS's, and I may even try to find someone to connect with for some old school MP gaming. I used to play Doom, Wing Commander Armada, and some others via modem.
I was looking at a serial Modem Blaster, but I don't know if it works in DOS and WFW. In keeping with the theme, a beige/white serial modem would be neat, though not required. With the state of the world, I think that the BBS and land lines could make a come back, and I have fond memories of connecting to different BBS's over the years to chat with people, download game patches, and all kind s of neat things. There was something magickal about it all.
Thanks!
