i wanted to load ansi.sys and X00.sys as since I can use DOSBOX with emulating a serial modem, I was thinking about testing running a few BBS programs like VisionX, LSD, etc.

You do not load drives via config.sys in Dosbox. And you cannot load a config.sys in Dosbox. There is a way to load config.sys elements via some program, I think ctload, but almost everything won't work in Dosbox. You can boot a dos image in Dosbox which allows you to use a config.sys, though. See …

Can i use a config.sys within DOSBOX. I have a couple of drives I need to load and it has to be done in the config.sys file but I cannot find anywhere that shows a config.sys file to use within the docs of DosBox.

I was attempting to run a old style BBS via DOSBox. I have tried multiple BBS and all have the same issue when older computers are calling into it (old 8 bit computers like ATARI, TI, Commodore, etc.) It seems that when the older computers accessing the BBS via DOSBox the BBS is receiving double …

I have an old BBS program I was trying to run in DosBOX (Vision-x). It runs fine, but for some reason when a user logs off it just exits to dos. This exact program works fine on an old dos machine. Anyone have any ideas?

I got it working. even though port 1023 did not work, i boosted it to port 5000 and it worked. Not sure why i cannot get this mac to listen on port 23 though.. I am still open to suggestions.

Thought I replied for Hals idea already. Same error even on higher ports.

Tried to run DOSBox with sudo and I still get the error in the terminal stating "Serial1: Modem could not open TCP port 23."

i launched DOSBOX via the show package contents for the MAC and in the terminal it shows that "Serial1: Modem could not open TCP port 23." I have checked the terminal to find out what ports are open. Dosbox shows: Last login: Wed Feb 6 17:06:04 on ttys001 mymac:~ chrisschneider$ /Applications/DOSBox …

i am new to the mac, how would you open port 23 with root access. I do know that my MAC firewall is disabled. I did a check in the terminal and it shows all ports are open from any IP address.

i was able to figure out the writeconf switch. but when running DOSBOX it is supposed to create the config file in the library/preferences. I found it going that route as well.

I have edited the config file and made my own config. Execute it with: open -a DOSBox --args -conf pathtoconfig/dosbox.conf it runs, and I believe it is enabled serial1 as follows: serial1=modem listenport:23 but when I execute the program and try to connect on port 23 via a telnet client. it fails, …

I am trying to find the config file on the mac, but I went to Library >> preferences I do not see a directory called DOSBox 0.74 Preferences I tried to execute the command config -writeconf z:\dosbox.conf I get an error stating it cannot open the file.

i am using the virtual modem. that works great..

How do you get date and time to work in dosbox? I tried the standard date time commands, but i get illegal command..

I figured this out. Ambien makes me think... There is a serial setting in the config. Serial1=modem listenport:23 Works like a charm..

I was wondering ig there is anything special that has to be done to get a bbs working via Dosbox? I have a Lantronix UDS1100 that acts as a modem and it works the same as a modem hooked up to a com port. Is there configuration that needs to be configured so the connection is seen in dosbox?
