Hello
This game has fixed modem strings. It is not possible to configure dial string.
But with a hex editor it is possible to overwrite init strings not understood by dosbox in the .exe file. Without fixed .exe file, dosbox fails to establish the connection.
The modem commands not understood by dosbox:
Window one (Waiting for call), has unhandled command, but no problem with it:
DOSBox version 0.72
Serial1: Modem listening on port 1000...
Command sent to modem: ->ATZ<-
Modem response: OK
Command sent to modem: ->ATE0F1Q1S0=1<-
Modem: Unhandled command: F1
Window two (Dial phone), has unhandled commands, dosbox failed to establish the connection:
DOSBox version 0.72
Serial1: Modem listening on port 2000...
Command sent to modem: ->ATZ<-
Modem response: OK
Command sent to modem: ->ATE0F1Q1DTLOCALHOST:1000<-
Modem: Unhandled command: F1
Modem: Unhandled command: D0
After fixing the games .exe file, the problematic Line looks like this, and dosbox sucessfully established the connection:
Command sent to modem: ->ATDT LOCALHOST:1000<-
Connecting to host LOCALHOST port 1000
Modem response: CONNECT 57600
There may be interest to add support for this issue.
With best regards,
