#FAX TSR & 3DSr3 net rend
3 messages in this thread
May combo fax/voice mail board works fine with 3DS rendering. The only
problem is that I have to stop the rendering process to check my
voice mail and faxes.
I've been running a heavy-heavy rendering job on my three machines
just to see what the lantastic 5.0 net will stand. I've got two
CDROMS supplying maps, receiving faxes with the winfax pro TSR and
paging like a sun of a gun each frame. I have to go away for a few
days so I set up this big rendering job that should take several days
to do. I'm trying out the raytracing:-).
The voice mail sounds interesting. Does it post the sound as wav
files? I'm just using one of those cheapy fax – modems. on the other
machine.
I'm using National SemiConductors TyIn-2000 card. I'm extremely happy
with the card for what it cost. The problems are that you have to use
their software (it is OK), and that it takes up 89K of DOS ram. It
also is only 2400 baud data. I use another modem (a 14.4) right next
to it. The other problem is that they want $500 for the technical
documentation on a $200 board. This rules out custom programing.
What is nice is that when it sees a fax it cuts off the other phones.
The voice / fax / data modem I really want is the PCS from US Robotics
(or was it??). Really cool!
