Emulate Hardware Modem
Create software virtual IP-modems
Virtual Modem PRO
Creates software virtual IP-modems and maps them to virtual serial ports.
Virtual modems are virtual copies of standard hardware modems. The main thing is that instead of using conventional telephone line modems created by Virtual Modem PRO use Ethernet network, including Internet, VLAN, VPN, etc. Virtual modems plug in virtual serial ports that are complete copies of real serial ones. You can operate them in the usual way.
Detailed information
- Who can benefit from using virtual modems?
Owners of automated systems that collect data from the remote hosts using modem and telephone line, manufacturing/warehouse data acquisition systems, fiscal/data transfers in a banking system, retail management, etc. can greatly benefit from implementing Virtual Modem PRO. For example, your bank has invested a huge lump of money and connected all its branches into a Virtual Private Network by fiber optic cable. However, the data transfer system still uses legacy application and conventional telephone line.
Instead of spending yet more money for new software development, and re-educating your staff, you can purchase Virtual Modem PRO and install it within minutes. It perfectly acts as middleware between modems and Internet. As a result, you continue to use the software you got used to and enjoy all the benefits of the faster and more reliable connection.
- How do virtual modems work?
Virtual Modem PRO uses virtual serial ports technology which performs the same functions as real one. This innovative technology makes possible to choose any available protocol and opens a wide range of new creative opportunities for derived applications. Virtual modem attached to a virtual serial port, as well as the real one, supports Hayes AT commands.
However it uses TCP/IP protocol to establish connection to remote host. 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 a server or a client at any time. It depends on, whether you want to generate outgoing call or accept it (just as the standard modems). Moreover, 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.
You should install and set up Virtual Modem PRO on both ends to establish such client-server connection. Single license allows you to install and use Virtual Modem PRO on two computers in a network. OEM license gives you an opportunity not only to install the software on multiple number of computers and embed the technology into your own software, but also to extend and modify Virtual Modem PRO (Source Code License may be required).
Version 3.0 Virtual Modem PRO emulates fax modems (Fax Class 1 protocol compliant). Now you have a chance to set up and use Windows Fax service or any third-party application to send/receive faxes to any host on the Internet without hardware modems! Save your money on purchasing fax machines and sending long-distance faxes by using fast and reliable virtual modems! Simply try it yourself and you will be greatly surprised at the fax transmission speed virtual modems provide which is much higher than the one of any real faxing machine. You don't need additional pricy hardware and occupied phone line any more.
Overview
- Create up to 255 virtual modems in your system
- Virtual Modems are absolutely the same copies of real ones - other applications will never see the difference between hardware and virtual modems
- Hayes ("AT" commands) compatible
- Fully emulates Fax Class 1 modems NEW
- Send faxes to any place on the Internet using virtual modems NEW
- All major software fax applications are supported (Microsoft Fax/Ventafax/SnappyFax 2000/Mighty Fax) NEW
- Standard modem S-registers are supported
- Link between Virtual Modems over the TCP/IP line is much faster than real null-modem cable connection and solely depends on your processor speed. Average transfer speed is about 35-40 Kbytes/sec
