- It should work if you get the ppp drivers by Holger Kruse (Demo at
- www.america.com/~kruse/home.html - excellent software) and set up AmiTCP
- properly. The Rolm dataphone is a bit squirrely to work with - make sure the
- DTR from the Amiga goes high for a second or two before data and it
- can work similar to a modem. You will probably have to hack together some
- scripts with AmiTCP/PPP to make it work, since the Rolm will be "calling"
- a modem pool somewhere on your network. Also, the Rolm where I work is
- limited to 19.2kbps, but this may be our own limitation.
