My decision on whether to purchase the new iMac machine rests on this. Given the fact that all Intel Macs are besides Mac OS X able to seemlessly run Windows XP or Windows Vista or any flavour of Linux or BSD, and that, depending on memory and disk space, all at the same time, I would say there is …

wd! The time/date problems were discussed extensively in the DOSBox Patches forum: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=12891 In the course of the discussion, jal prepared a patch for this issue and at the second page of said thread there is a download link of a .zip-package, which contains the …

I use DOSBox on a PowerBook G4 (PPC Processor) and on a Mac Mini (Intel Core Duo). It was really easy to install and it works smooth on both machines. For modem connections, the directserial feature of DOSBox is needed, and this is currently deactivated. I had a need for modem connections and …

I am more than satisfied, not to say I am enthusiastic about the solution - it simply works. BTW: Appearantly because I compiled dosbox now by myself by setting CXXFLAG=-O3, I experienced a performance boost of apprx. 25 % at my PowerBook G4 1.5 GHz compared to the DOSBox binary which is officially …

That means, that there is no need for external proxy daemons for making the internal modem of my PowerBook G4 work …

Many thanks for your response. I got it to work with directserial_posix.cpp. Mac OS X is AFAIK fully POSIX compliant. Here comes what I did: 1. installed libsdl and libsdl_net by the way of MacPorts 2. checked out the dosbox source from CVS 3. included in the darwin section of configure.in @ line …

Many thanks for your response! With Mac OS X 10.4, I can use xinetd which is an extended inetd, in that the parameters reside in separate configuration files, but it is basically the same. I am somewhat familiar with this, because I set up a CVS server and customised finger daemons, by using the …

I need a real dial-in modem connection to a remote MS-DOS host. I would like to run the client within DOSBox running @ Mac OS X 10.4.10 on a PowerBook G4 which does have an internal modem. I have installed DOSBox 0.71 and everything runs really nice, even the client program, except that I found no …
