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 telnet://cyberia.darktech.org __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
