TAP2ASCII Interface
Accept inbound TAP connections via modem or serial and convert to ASCII text files
The PageGate's TAP2ASCII module accepts inbound TAP connections via a modem or a direct serial connection. Each message is accepted and saved in an ASCII text file for processing and redistribution.
Multiple TAP2ASCII modules can be run on the same computer as PageGate, enabling PageGate to simultaneously accept messages from multiple inbound TAP connections. Each TAP2ASCII interface purchased allows for a TAP connection to be monitored.
