Hi all,
Question:
If I join an Ericsson serial data cable with the IBM z50 serial data cable
(at the PC ends
), could i connect the z50 to the internet via the T39 phone through this newly obtained cable?
In Remote Networking there is an option to connect with the modem on COM1
(the serial port, no?
). What does Hayes mean
(Remote networking/Dial-up Connection/Make New Connection/Select a modem:/Hayes Compatible on COM1
)?
This would help me
(and others, i hope
) because while on the road
(in a car, train etc
) i have trouble keeping the infrared ports alligned
(z50's and T39's
).
Has this been done before?
Thanx,
Marius
P.S.: I know bluetooth is the optimal solution for this, but right now i don't have one and can't get one [in Romania i haven't found a bluetooth compact flash and i have to buy it online from another country, but i can pay online from Romania only if i use a special credit card which i don't have and even so, the costs of shipping it here would double its price - which is, without shipping, the minimum wage in Romania - 80 euros
