Hello All,

I am in need of help as I have spent a week trying to get this to work. I have searched these forums and have search the Internet and nothing has resolved my issue.

I am trying to get an old legacy application to run in DOS BOX with no success. The application monitors the buildings infrastructure as in boilers, AC units, Power ect... The software connects via serial (COM1). When the application is launched and communication has been established over COM1 they can login and manage the system.

What I cannot get to work in DOS BOX is the serial connectivity. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank You,
TL

It is generally discouraged to run critical business applications in DOSBox, as it is primarily intended for games.

But anyway, you will need the Megabuild for serial port passthrough.
