modem to modem

[helix_r@my-deja.com]

Hi,

I need to run a data acquistion application on one computer
and control it using vi-server vi's from another computer.

This is fine for typical ethernet connections to the internet,
but my problem is that the computers will be connected
directly to each other via modems.

Is it possible to do such a thing? Where do I start to learn
how to do this? The machines are NT workstations.

thanks,
-H.

One option is to use Win32 API ( RAS, etc ).

You may need support from someone familiar with the Win32 API calls, also
some C code "wrappers" may be necessary, in order to allow access from
LabVIEW.

The part that I like, is that you can dial-up, hang-up, etc., without any
concern for modem control strings and other modem setings.

Let me know how this works for you.
Cheers, Dan

Thanks Dan,

Actually, I was hoping to pull this off using RAS dial-up
networking in NT. Isn't that possible? It would sure make
things complex if win-api calls had to be done.

Has anyone been able to do modem to modem networking for
the purpose of doing
vi-server stuff?

To use the VI Server between two computer you need them to be networked
via TCP/IP.

A workaround is to reroute data to/from a TCP/IP port from the client
computer to the VI Server port of the server computer thru modem (or any
other data link). It is not necessarly less complex than win-api calls.
