Welcome to Miami's Modems, a new forum for discussion and dissemination of information regarding modem connectivity to resources on the Miami University campuses in Oxford, Middletown and Hamilton. This forum is accessible as both a NetNews newsgroup (mu.modems) and a LISTSERV list (MUModems) for those who prefer to receive this information directly as e-mail. Of late, much of the traffic on mu.unix / MU-UNIX, mu.vax-vms / MU-VMS and mu.vmcms / MU-VM has centered on data communications discussions involving modem connectivity issues that are not platform specific to UNIX, VM or VMS. Hence, it was determined there might be a need for this forum. We hope discussion of modem-related issues (hardware and where applicable software) will move from the platform specific groups / lists to this forum. If you have specific modem-related problems, please call or e-mail the MCIS Help Desk at x7900 or HelpDesk@MiamiU or MiaVX1.
