I've been using Big Brother for about 4 years and have been testing Hobbit and plan to switch over soon. I have a situation that I have never been able to figure out how to address, so I'd like to throw it out here and see if anyone has any ideas.
We have a terminal server with 7 fax modems connected to it. A Unix server uses it to fax reports out to various doctor's offices around town. For reasons that we've never been able to figure out, one or more of the modems will occasionally "lock-up", i.e. quit responding to commands. This usually locks the associated serial port on the terminal server as well.
I would like to be able to monitor these modems by connecting to their port on the terminal server, i.e. 192.168.1.15:2001, send them an "AT" command, wait a few seconds for a response, then disconnect. I can't figure out a way to connect to them with the additional requirement of having to use the network port that they addressed by on the terminal server...in this case, 2001 through 2007.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
And , by the way, I think Hobbit is great! I think it is a big improvement upon Big Brother, although I must admit that we're on the "better than free" license since we are a non-profit, so I haven't seen what Quest may have done with it.
Thanks in advance!
