I have my dosbox.conf set to serial2=modem, and i've used this before. I'm on a new computer new, and whenever i dial out, it says NO CARRIER.

why would this be so? What causes the modem in dosbox to return "NO CARRIER". On a modem, its because there's no dial tone. What is it in dosbox? How can i get past this?

does it have something to do with my router/ I've forwarded port 23, but realy, that should not matter for dialing out. I can get IPX play to work fine, but its slower than modem play (dont' ask me why). It would be nice to solve this issue.

your friend, Slorrin

First you should have a look at the DOSBox status window.

well, first it says connecting to xxx.xx.xx.xx etc (the ip address)
then it waits, waits, waits, then says "NO CARRIER"

not in the game, in the status window.

it says exactly

Serial2: Warning: tried to activate FIFO
Comment Sent to modem ->ATS0=1<-

Modem response: OK
Command sent to modem: ->ATDTxxxxxxxxxxxx<- (xxx = ip address)

Connecting to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 23
Failed to connect.
Modem response: NO CARRIER
Command sent to modem -><-

Command sent to modem: ->AT H0<-

Modem Response: OK

that is precisely what it says.

The computer you are trying to connect to can't be reached. If it is behind a router, port 23 needs to be forwarded. If it runs on a unix-like operating system, a port greater than 1023 must be chosen.
