AST RESEARCH TECHNICAL BULLETIN TB-0194 6-26-86
HAYES SMARTCOMII/LAN-RSN-REACH! MODEM COMPATIBILITY
Testing was done to determine the compatibility of Hayes SmartCom
II/LAN software with the AST Research RSN card and REACH! modem.
Hayes SmartComII/LAN is a software package that allows the modem
on a network to be shared by the network users/workstations.
When the modem server command is issued at the server, the
following message is displayed:
MODEM OR DIRECT-CONNECT DEVICE ALREADY REGISTERED.
THIS COMMAND WAS REDUNDANT.
Hayes Technical Support confirmed this to be a known bug. Other
than this error message, the server appears to function
correctly.
Attempted entry into SmartComII/LAN on the "user" PC causes the
following message to be displayed:
SMARTMODEM NOT RESPONDING ON SMARTMODEM 1200.
Hayes Technical Support and AST Research Engineering both alluded
that the SmartComII/LAN software is an evaluation copy containing
several possible bugs.
Neither problem encountered was rectified and the testing proved
unsuccessful.
Further testing will be conducted at a later date with released
software versions.
