- Emulate an appliance
- Posted by HC on February 11th, 2006
I have a VERY OLD appliance that connects to a server over telephone lines.
I am starting to worry about what will happen when it dies. Being a
geek, my first thought was to write a program that emulated it.
How could I monitor its conversations with the server to find out what
it's "saying"?
Thanks if anyone has any ideas

I saw a picture that made a computer look like a coffee maker. At least it
was a start!

I don't remember my Hayes commands that well, but can't you just
connect another modem in-line and set it to work as a repeater?
I'd suppose you could make it log all data to a file.

If you'd mentioned the make and model of the "appliance" your question
might actually make sense. Some clue as to what the "appliance" is
meant to do, would be useful too.

I'm guessing that it's a wringer-type washing machine....
