    From Rick Smith@1:105/81 to All on Tue Feb 28 22:19:10 2023
    Hello All!

    I got vmodem working finally... well sort of. I can get renegade, pb 217 (only) and maximus to intialize the modem no problem. The problem I see now is that only maximus passes anything to my telnet client. The rest all show connected but blank screen is all I get. Because its more than one bbs software doing this I assume its some setting somewhere for modem perhaps in the setup of the bbs?

    I am using netrunner to connect, I have not tried syncterm which I will do later to see if different result.

    Regards,

    Rick

    Vhat version of SIO? I am using SIO2k v2.11 I think with VX00 installed and 8 telnet ports and I have pretty much gotten everything to answer telnet calls with both DOS and OS/2 BBS software ..

    If you can't get the software to answer calls, try changing the init string to just ATZ and any other hayes commands to manipulate speaker and stuff. hangup string ATH answer string ATA detect RING answer on 2nd RING .. should pretty much cover any situation .. at least in my experience

    Good luck .. I am testing out the telnet/news/ftp server of EleBBS/2 currently :D so far everything works as expected.

    The last release that I'm aware of was v2.03 from June, 2002.
