When running dosbox from a console, when the program executes the ATDT string, this appears in the stdout: host 127.000.000.001 port 17 But, I mostly can't get it to even get this far. I was able to get this by running the Terminal Velocity modem game several times, and after a few times it …

I've been trying to analyze some network traffic and modem messages, and it …

Now with dosbox, I can do it again :) And what's more funny, about the same time gust0208 discovered dune2, so did I …

Hi, I've been trying to play multiplayer games over a virtual modem with dosbox, but I don't understand how this works. There is practicly no docs on it. When dialing out, how can I choose a different port than 23? I mean, when the computer I'm connecting to is listening on port 5000, how do I …
