<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=2 color=teal face=Tahoma><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;color:teal;font-weight:bold'>I’ve
been using Big Brother for about 4 years and have been testing Hobbit and plan
to switch over soon. I have a situation that I have never been able to
figure out how to address, so I’d like to throw it out here and see if
anyone has any ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=2 color=teal face=Tahoma><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;color:teal;font-weight:bold'>We have
a terminal server with 7 fax modems connected to it. A Unix server uses
it to fax reports out to various doctor’s offices around town. For
reasons that we’ve never been able to figure out, one or more of the
modems will occasionally “lock-up”, i.e. quit responding to
commands. This usually locks the associated serial port on the terminal
server as well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=2 color=teal face=Tahoma><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Tahoma;color:teal;font-weight:bold'>I would
like to be able to monitor these modems by connecting to their port on the
terminal server, i.e. 192.168.1.15:2001, send them an “AT” command,
wait a few seconds for a response, then disconnect. I can’t figure
out a way to connect to them with the additional requirement of having to use
the network port that they addressed by on the terminal server…in this
case, 2001 through 2007.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>

by the way, I think Hobbit is great! I think it is a big improvement upon
Big Brother, although I must admit that we’re on the “better than
free” license since we are a non-profit, so I haven’t seen what
Quest may have done with it.<o:p></o:p></span></font></b></p>
