Press Release Summary = Virtual Modem PRO emulates virtual IP-modems with extended
functionality

Press Release Body = Virtual Modem PRO 2.0 was designed to create software virtual
IP-modems and to map them to virtual serial ports in your OS. Virtual Modem Pro
emulates standard hardware modems. The main difference is that instead of using
conventional telephone line, it uses Ethernet network, including Internet, VLAN,
VPN, etc. Standard modems are connected to the computer via serial ports (COM1/COM2
or COM3/COM4). Virtual modem uses virtual serial ports that are complete copies of
real serial ports. The main advantages of Virtual Modem Pro is speed and reliability
of the transmitted data (since it uses fast Ethernet network and reliable TCP/IP
protocol) as well as a considerable number (up to 255) of modems that can be created
in any system. Every automation system that collects data from the remote hosts
using modem and telephone line can greatly benefit from implementing Virtual Modem
PRO. Among these are manufacturing/warehouse DAQ systems, fiscal/data transfers in a
banking system, retail management, etc. Virtual Modem PRO uses virtual serial ports
technology which fully emulates real serial ports and duplicates all their
functionality. To create such connection the first virtual modem (local host) should
be configured as a TCP/IP server that listens to incoming connections, while the
other one (remote host) should be configured as a client to initiate the call. Every
instance of the virtual modem could be configured to be server or client at any time
depending whether you want to generate outgoing call or accept it (same as standard
modems). In addition, you may specify the TCP port which will be used to establish
the link and IP-address or hostname of the server to connect to. In order to
establish such client-server connection you should install and set up Virtual Modem
PRO on both ends. Single license allows you to install and use Virtual Modem PRO on
two computers in a network.
