I'm thinking back to the original intent of this. Is it that the guy
wanting to do this (sorry, forgot who you are) wants to put a computer
running a BBS on the internet? If so, all these suggestions are overkill.
The best one I've heard so far is to get something that fools the computer
into thinking it's connected to a modem when in actuality it's connected
to some sort of terminal server that emulates ring signals, etc. This is
also something that is somewhat easy to write with the write serial port
driver software. A linux box will do.

Just curious...has there ever been a device available
to anyone's
knowledge that functions like an analog phone line and
allows transmission via
TCPIP?
