MODEM programming
Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 2:42 pm
So, I am back here with some questions. I am working on a simple QB chat room the uses a modem. I am also writing this on the Atari 400/800xl and will later port it to my ST.
The goal is simple, people are able to connect from severl types of computers and chat!
In my Qbasic version (the 1st) I realized that only 2 people can connect with the way that I set it up!
My questions are:
Can more than 2 people connect via the modem like on a 3 way call?
How do I manage this? When info is sent, does everybody else recieve it? What is the maximum amount of people that can be connected? What happens if multiple people are sending data at the same time, is it messed up?
Also, I read the COM tutorials on this site, but was wondering if there are any good general modem programming forums that I can check out?
I will post my code later when I get home as I am currently at school.
thanks...![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
