Hi, Frank!

But of course !

Radius itself cannot offer tcp/ip because of windows design. But ..
it can hand off a modem connection to RAS in case it is (mailer)
configured to use TAPI and in case RAS service is invoked.

Dialup->ports->COM port->TAPI (instead of port name)->
direct acces - check off->intercept shared calls - checked on.

Then Dialup->Lines->Your line->Port->Your TAPI device

Under such conditions *us will hand off RAS calls to RAS

This feature is available since Febr or March. I use it
at my /700 node to connect mailer and to connect internet
depending on what I'm dialling with.

It is possible to use the same modem and the same phone line
to connect mailer and to establich PPP (slip), but you need to
configure TAPI device and setup *us to use it.

But ..

Be ready to meet some unexpected problems. TAPI is designed
so that modem init string doesn't work. You need to properly
initialize modem in windows ("phones and modem" icon of Control
Panel).

As additional bonus you can use your internet dialler (or other
TAPI-aware aplications, for example MS fax), not switching off
mailer's line. In a log file this looks like:

* 20-Aug-2004 01:19:57 OK
  20-Aug-2004 01:19:57 Initializing modem
  20-Aug-2004 01:19:57 OK
* 20-Aug-2004 01:38:15 TAPI: line is busy

> here I started dialler

  20-Aug-2004 01:39:22 TAPI: line is free

> here I stopped dialler

  20-Aug-2004 01:39:22 OK

And modem line's log should look like:

  19-Aug-2004 15:08:56 Using log file e:\fido\log\RD.log\Rd.LOG
