Hi all. I realize this is an off topic post, but since those appear here from time to time anyway, I figured one more wouldn't be that big of a deal. I have recently been playing with bochs: http://bochs.sourceforge.net In the bochs configuration, I have com1 set to redirect to /dev/ttyS0. The strange thing is that when I boot the guest os, which is DOS, inside of bochs, the provox screen reader doesn't work with my bns, which is connected to /dev/ttyS0. I have also, over a few days, by trial and error managed to install win95 and window-eyes (without speech or braille feedback) inside of bochs just to try it out. According to my wineyes.ini file, wineyes is configured to talk to the bns on com1, and is also started in the startmenu\programs\startup folder. However, again, it doesn't work. I then booted to dos under bochs, and did copy filename com1 and the contents of filename was spoken on the bns just fine. I then changed the com1 output file to be a regular file called serial.out instead of /dev/ttyS0. Again, provox and window-eyes produced no output in serial.out, but when I did copy filename com1 again under DOS, the contents of filename appeared in serial out. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this weird behavior? Thanks in advance. Greg -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager at EU.org
