Am I the only one wondering why you don't just use a regular LAN adapter? Is it purely to hear the dial up negotiation sounds and/or experience dial-up speeds? My DOS terminal software will not work with LAN. Also I didn't have an adapter around to try, but now I do, so I might just use that, but I …

vesa modes or one and the same vesa mode? looks like bad ram chip (partially) as it takes <1/7 of the screen Well after further inspection I can say not all VESA modes, I tried the "unicentr" app and I didn't see this happen. It only happened with these emulators using weirder modes (like 384x257 …

Seems like I am talking to myself here but I don't care, in case anyone lands on this issue again in the future, I figured out what was going on, and it was thanks to matze79 again.

Hey, can you tell me how you configured your terminal program? I can't get this to work, the modem doesn't respond, I don't gt any startup text or the ability to use AT commands. I am using Terminate 5 I followed this guide and am using this dude's modified firmware: http://subethasoftware.com/2018/ …

Thanks everyone! And for RS232 you need additional Power (3,3V Source). Where do I get this from? Can't get it from the serial or USB port? Even if it's 5V that I can regulate down to 3.3V? How would you approach this problem? I think USB power would be a great option! Although I read the ESP8266 …
