 I knew exactly what was required to write a Serial<->TCP tunneling program and blogged on the www.synchro.net web-site way back in 2002 that I planned on writing just such a program to give dial-up capabilities to Synchronet v3 Win32 sysops. I knew exactly what was required to write a Serial<->TCP tunneling program and blogged on the www.synchro.net web-site way back in 2002 that I planned on writing just such a program to give dial-up capabilities to Synchronet v3 Win32 sysops.
  
-Better late than never (?), I finally started writing this a program a few months ago (early 2007). I had to buy an analog modem (I'd thrown-out or donated all my modems years ago) and get a second phone line installed to test it, but finally, here it is: SEXPOTS (the name pays homage to [[SEXYZ]]). +Better late than never (?), I finally started writing this a program a few months ago (early 2007).
