Communication on the parallel ports is alot different than the serial
ports,unfortunately noone has wrote a driver for the modem. I have
contacted
Microcom tech support about a year ago and they would not release any
programming information for the parallel port. Your only option is to
connect
it with the serial port interface on the modem.
