Subject: Do virtual comports work?
Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2003 12:16:18 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20030701191618.22580.qmail@web13901.mail.yahoo.com> (raw)

I'm trying to setup dosemu 1.1.5 with freedos on a
RH9.0 box so that it will run BBS doorgames like LORD.
 I'm having an awful time getting it to work.

In the /etc/dosemu/dosemu.conf file I have edited the
line

$_com2 = "virtual"

so that the virtual modem will work.  

In DOS I've loaded a fossil driver (bnu 1.70), but the
program will not display at all.  The program is
called automatically from my autoexec.bat file, so no
interaction is needed before the doorgame loads.

I've tested by commenting out the $_com2 line, and
running dosemu, and it looks like it works, but only
as if it were in the local screen, not over the modem.
 In other words, it has the sysop status bar on the
bottom.

Are there any other similar BBS sysops here who have
had this particular problem?  

Any help would be appreciated.

-Regards,
Darryl Perry, Sysop of Cyberia BBS
