I'm not sure if this has been addressed in the mailing list yet, so I'll ask anyway. Please excuse my ignorance if it has. I use DOSEMU 1.4.0 with COM1 as a virtual port (i.e. $_com1 = "virtual"). This redirects all output that DOSEMU writes to the pty to DOS's COM1. It works really well for my application: a telnet BBS. I've been using this method to get an old Telegard BBS to work over telnet. The only hitch is Zmodem transfers (or any binary transfer, for that matter). The downloads work fine (albiet slow, usually around 4 - 5 kbps). Uploads do not work at all. Whenever I attempt to initiate an upload, DOSEMU tries to interpret the binary input. It usually ends up with DOSEMU receiving a binary sequence that it interprets to be a 'freeze' command or 'shutdown' command. If I use Zmodem to upload a small text file, it usually works (under 1024 bytes or so). Is there anyway to have DOSEMU not interpret the data input as when using the "virtual" COM port setting? I realize that this might not be a feature that people want, especially if they're using DOSEMU over an SSH link or something similar (you'd still want access to ctrl-alt-pgdn and the like). If there's no plans to provide a solution like this, perhaps I'll start working on one. :) Thanks in advance for any insight people reading this might have. -- Joe Ripley vitaminjoe@xxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-msdos" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
