- I have been "stumped" with this unusual query.
-
- Someone uses a generic modem (2400 baud) to link up his home PC to our
- workstations at the office. However, the individual has a phone jack in his
- KITCHEN only. He connects the PC to modem, using the serial ports (RS-232C)
- and then the modem line to the phone jack on the kitchen wall.
-
- Fairly standard setup, however, he does not like working in his kitchen!!!
-
- As a simple alternative, a long RJ11c to RJ11c extension cord of about 50
- to 75 ft could allow him to move his PC to a different room, however the
- individual does not like long cords!!!!
-
- Now, I am in search for a modem that is built like a cordless
- telephone.
-
- I am thinking that it has a "base unit" hooked to the kitchen wall
- and the "portable unit" hooked to the modem (connected to the PC)
- maybe in another room. I know, it could be expensive compared to the
- 75ft extension cord, but that does not matter to this individual.
-
- Does anything such as a cordless modem exist, or is it the end of my
- options on this issue.
-
- Thanks to everyone. My apologies in advance, if this posting is posted
- to incorrect newsgroups.
