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.
