I still like the idea of UUCP / POTS links. IIRC, Sampsa or Steve had something going along these lines a while back. Not sure if it ever got off the ground?!? I would attempt this if I had modems that weren't just soft modems. Might be able to use them if any of you know of any nice software for use on a BSD with them. Update: I have 2 modems to try from that I can find 1). A winmodem 2). A Conexant HSF modem who thinks I can get one of these working in MS-DOS? MS-DOS on a HT P4 with 1G RAM anyone? I know it's not a UNIX but maybe the driver will show me a serial port I can attach a simulator to?
