Hi Pieter
For Baycom serial port modem there are no software for current Windows OS.
I'm think its not impossible, just nobody tried to do.
There was lot of "bit bang" programming adapters for microcontollers that
too use not standard mode of COM port pins as well.
This days most of packet'ers use pc sound card as modems - its cheap,
stable, easy to use and outperform any old hardware modems and "boxed" TNCs.
Simply no practical sense to back to use old h/w as already quite
powerfull PC runs for node.
Baycom support should be in Linux and especially in RPi uPC platform,
but sysop should be guru of that OS :-)
Maybe another quite easy way to drive baycom modems (if you have few of them) -
find on internet markets retro PC box (some 486 or P1) with DOS and even w/o HDD,
run system from FDD or from flash card adapter, then connect it to main
BBS/node by network card. Soft - dos bpq or better pc/flexnet.
73, Sergej.
