Hi Curt
            The SCS modem can be considered a TNC. Since it uses the 
same commands as a TNC does. Yes it has more and different commands 
also. But for example to make a connection the command is.
Connect WE7U [enter]

So I would suggest that you go to the SCS web site and down load 
their manuals and you will see that you can make this GUI without 
having a SCS unit.

Of course you would need a unit to test the software prior to its 
release.
