  • Who is running FD as Telnet Mailer?

    From Joaquim Homrighausen@2:20/4609 to Elmo Jensen on Tue Sep 12 04:18:00 2017


    I have tried to setup FD as Telnet Mailer, but without luck.
    I'm using Netserial, and have set it up for Com2.

    I'm using ADF as fossil, and I can connect with it. I have tried
    Netfoss too, but that did'nt work at all!

    If any of you guys or girl out there, are using FD as your
    primary mailer with Telnet, so please give me some response.
    Thank you.

    On the reboot development environment, I'm currently running NetSerial and NetFoss, and I can connect to just about any system via Internet. This is done under VirtualBox and a Windows XP "CMD Window".

    FrontDoor talks to NetFoss, NetFoss talks to NetSerial, and NetSerial talks to the world.

    You first checkpoint should be to see if you can load up the FrontDoor Terminal
    and talk to the "modem" (which is actually NetSerial).

    I must be the only one doing this, but I am doing just what the original poster
    is trying to do, but only under ArcaOS 5.0.1 (aka OS/2 Warp 5).

    Indeed. Good to see it's working :) I too, may venture down th eOS2/ArcaOS path if I find the time, but perhaps it's (time) better spent coding instead :)

    Though with NetSerial (and possibly NetFoss) it should work in many Windows environments.

    I had one setup... no-one to poll. FD/2 ... There are a few out there just hunt around. Something happend to my InterNET REX so it's down for now. I also setup Mystic BBS, and for the most part they have the mail thing wrapped up.

    with JoHo back in the saddle I'd like to see where he goes with a windows or linux version. As much as I think/thought OS2 was/is cool.... Windows or
    Linux is where it's at.

    I have a big wish for the future of FrontDoor... I'd like it to be able to spawn a telnet session off a modem line. There are a few applications out there... dialup2telnet.... and Synchronet, or Digital Man, has made one as well. There was never an OS2 version of those programs, know nothing about programming so I have no clue how to port said code...

    Anyway, FD is going to be bigger and better...

    Just saying...
