You mean Retaliator on 0.63? I never wrote anywhere that it works...

Warcraft: Ok, just checked it - doesn't work on 063, maybe I mixed up dosboxes back then... If you are using the dosbox.conf in my zip file, the modem is on COM1. Retaliator doesn't cause problems over here. COM2 is directserial com1. The hosts file will probably be the only way you get this to work …

Warcraft: You're talking about IPX, right? (just to be sure) I only tested if a game could be started, not much more. Warcraft1 is a bit primitive and playing against myself is not so much fun. Retaliator: In the head to head menu, press F2 to set the right com port. TZone: The modem accepts …

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, the dlls can be found using Google. I'm not providing them here because I don't know if Microsoft likes it that way...

Moo2 does that now and then too - it completely hangs as far as I can tell.

Yes, in 0.63 it's set to output the port as %x (hex).

Of course, further compatibility would be great. I have been looking for multiplatform libraries, but found none with all the required functions. It's actually rather difficult to find them at all. We can do it on our own, too. I'd probably find a way to test it with real serial ports (maybe Dosbox …

@whocrazy: You could also try other drivers like http://www.digsys.se/adf.html, and my new version (which still has no BIOS support). Maybe your application can be configured to use the UART directly instead of INT14h BIOS? About the new "version": Configuration: The configuration can be changed on- …

Not the 9 characters are the problem here, the space is. If you have spaces in your path, you need to type mount c "c:\old games" (This way it is interpreted as: command: mount 1st parameter: c 2nd parameter: c:\old games If you type mount c c:\old games it will be: command: mount 1st parameter: c …

It's missing BIOS support. What you could try from here: Download the BNU 1.70 FOSSIL driver (http://www.pcmicro.com/bnu/), extract it, make the files availible in Dosbox, and run BNU.COM. It should say that there is at least one device availible. Now run your program. Hopefully the FOSSIL driver …

Oh, too fast is not good neither.. At 50000 you probably have 100% CPU usage. Set cycles lower to stay under 100%.

You are not using my latest diff here... Since you get RX overrun (as well as me on my old test pc, it means more data came than the emulated application was able to fetch from the serial port), have you tried increasing Dosbox' cycles? I also see you are using the fastest baudrate, you could try a …

That is what actually happens here: The terminal client (SBBS) talks to the virtual modem via COM port, the virtual modem connects to an Internet server by Telnet.
