Do the official CVS daily builds have modem emulation support?

I just tried dosbox_08.02.2010 and I'm getting invalid type for serialx.

Precompiled builds? Depends on who compiled it.
But since you seem to be about to track crashes, just try compiling it yourself.
Check the ./configure parameters (or config.h for msvc) for some parameters
that allow you to compile modem/ipx/whatever support into dosbox.

I built the latest SVN of dosbox, which went smoothly btw, Thank you.

The communications issues with Chessmaster still persist though.

Im starting to think that maybe there is an "odd protocol" used by Chessmaster that is causing win3.1x under dosbox. Other win3.1x apps under dosbox seem to function.

What I need is a way to see (and possibly alter) the characters sent to and sent from Chessmaster.

I've already identified the problem in MB5. (posted in the other thread Re: unhandled exception in DosBoxMB5)

I'm working with freshly built dependency libraries btw. Logs coming soon!
