  • dos bbs telnet fossil

    From Daniel Path@2:371/52 to All on Tue Apr 26 20:55:27 2022
    Hello All,

    how can i make a dos bbs on real hardware* make to use telnet?
    i guess i need a fossil driver/tcp wrapper. i would like to avoid the 'tcpser' solution if possible.

    can you point me to the right direction?

    (* i have a network card in it, and mtcp is working fine.)

    Regards,

    Maybe RLFOSSIL is what you are looking for?

    I put a lot of effort into this sort of setup. I used tcpdrv (the Trumpet TCP driver) rather than mtcp and wrote a bunch of hybrid pascal/assembly to interface between the dos packet driver it provides, and a fake fossil driver.

    I got Synchronet for DOS to answer with it, and it was pretty bad.

    If I can find the code I'll see if I can't make sure it still works and link it somewhere. But if you haven't picked it up, I'm not really fond of the concept anymore ;)
