Re: Is it possible to configure an old cisco router to respond to a 56K modem?
Posted on 2023-09-27, 17:09
if you need the dialing then you need a pbx, if you just want to make a connection, tell one to ignore the dialtone ATX0 and dial out ATD and the other to respond ATA. oh yeah and do connect both of them together with a telephone cable. :-) This seems like the right way to me. I just have to figure …

I have seen a Youtube video of two PCs dialed up with modems, and all that was needed was IIRC a 9V battery and a resistor. Modems won't pick up a line, or start dialing, something like that, without some electricity on the phone line. 56K was a maximum theoretical download, by default they had 33. …

In general - yes. which card you cisco have? it is a serial E1/T1 interface card or async card with modem attached or Cisco 1-Port Analog-Modem Interface Card? for analog modems you need a pbx with phone line, ring tone / call /etc features. max speed is 33.6k for e1/t1 you need a pbx with e1/t1 …

As per the title, I found several articles about this but no tutorial or video summarizing it. I am a programmer and got an old Cisco 1841 that was being thrown away. The router already has the 56K modem card installed. The router has the cisco IOS system so it is very dynamic. If I connect my …

Re: Thinkpad T42 sound in DOS games - partially working

After yesterday's tests I confirm the bad emulation. Too bad because it was nice to boot DOS games directly from Windows. And SBEMU on this computer gives problems, games freeze. The sound chip is an AD1981B, does anyone know if there are alternative drivers to try with?

Re: Windows NT4 and Realtek drivers

I don't think that any NT-based OS can use real-mode network drivers like those NDIS2 drivers. Win9x, on the other hand, can use them at the expense of RAM within the first 1MB. ... Indeed. NT cannot use real-mode drivers at all. Support for especially GBe interfaces was very finite for old NT …
