Hi everyone.
I was having trouble today with a friend playing Rise of the Triad over modem. The setup.exe modem configuration section would not accept dots or semicolons in the dialer such as: 192.168.1.10:5000. I then tried: 1921680010105000 which dosbox then converted to 192.168.001.010:5000 and would not connect. Testing with Telix confirmed that it works using the dots and semicolon. Only thing I could think of is that the system didn't know how to handle the 0's in the octets. I checked the source code and created a small modification that removed the 0's and tested with success. This was tested on Ubuntu 10.04 and 12.04 with newest SVN release. I have created a diff that you all may find useful. Let me know what you all think about it. Thank you.
