Hi,
I want to do some development work for RAS-dialup (modem). The problem is, that I have no telephone connection where I can plug in my modem. Does anybody has any idea if there is an modem emulator for Windows?
Regards, Gerold

Hi Gerold
Here are some comments:
I think what manufacturers provide is a tsp (tapi service provider) which is a dll with several exported functions that might communicate with a driver or the generic ones open a serial port.
Tapi clients, like any windows applications or the Windows RAS system use the tsp to manage dialing/hanging up the "modem".
You could write a dummy tsp for testing RAS functions in the wine testsuite, which would be registered and unregistered during the tests, I don't think it's strictly necessary or easy to test with a real modem. Though I'm not sure how far you'll need to go with the dummy tsp when testing, eg providing dummy pap/chap auth and pppd to answer on the other end.
RAS also includes Virtual Private Networking on later versions of Windows, not sure what approach one might take to testing that as it requires a server to connect successfully.
Good luck, implementing the required tapi32 functionality for rasapi32, figuring out how to integrate with linux (or other) ppp/network services as well as the address book stuff sounds like fun.
Out of interest, are you doing this for a particular application?

Hi Jeff,
I don't know if I can do all the development work, because it sounds really difficult. I want to run a particular application called "WEB.de SMARTSURFER". It's a dialer to get the cheapest internet connection (in Germany). Where I live I have DSL, but not when I visit my relatives. There I have only a slow internet connection by modem.
Right now I want to develop a static rasphone.exe When I've done all de UI work I want to try to put some parts of it into some WINE DLLS.
Can someone help me? In a few days/weeks I want to publish a rasphone.exe with its GUI and reading/writing the configuration. I still don't know how to do the CONNECT i.e. the REAL work ;-)
Regards Gerold

Right now I want to develop a static rasphone.exe I want to do the UI work first. Maybe I will be able to put some things into the WINE DLLs.
In a few days/weeks I want to publish a first rasphone.exe with its GUI and reading/writing the configuration. I still don't know how to do the real work, i.e. the CONNECT. Can someone help me with that work?
