Subject: Telnet to serial port
Date: Fri, 09 Jul 2004 14:13:04 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200407091413040956.0115912C@smtp.ebaana.net> (raw)

I've got to run PCBoard under dosemu, works like a charm in local mode.
There is still a problem. Lets say I want to run 5 instances of dosemu + pcboard, I need then
a telnet server, which maintains connections to these 5 instances.

In dosemu, first instance of PCBoard should be on port COM1 and second on COM2 and so on...
In telnet server there should be a virtual modem emulator for each port. (done by threads)
When someone connects to server, it checks for first free instance/port and it should then send
commands to the serial port like a modem while PCBoard should answer to incoming "call".

How it would work:
Internet <-> Telnet server <-> Node selection (one from 1..5) <-> Virtual modem emulation layer #1..5
<-> dosemu #1..5 (redirects virtual modem device/file to COM1..5) <-> PCBoard #1..5 on COM1..5

Telnet server software (for linux) working like this does not yet exist. Someone will have to write one. :)

Do you people have any other ideas or thoughs about this?
