    You're using Netfos64? I'm surprised Renegade even loads with that. That's probaly the issue with the door, you more than likely need to
    use NETFOSS.exe (32bit one)


    Yes I tried NETFOSS 1st and get the error NetComm can't communicate with NetFoss. Then error Cannot unload. NetFoss.DLL and NetFo64.DLL are both in the same path as per NetFoss instalation instructions.

    Then tried NetFos64 and boom, everything loaded up as it should.

    Got the DOOR.SYS doors working under NetFo64 and seem to work better now than under the other BBS software using DOSBox. That is really weird. But I will take it.

    Getting another error with transfering files with Zmodem, Received ZNAK instead of ZDATA frame.

    No idea what that is.

    Thanks

    Got me on that one too. Using the installed PDZmodem? Maybe install FDSZ and see if it helps?

    ... It's on that one, the 6th unlabeled floppy.

    Double-check that DOSBox is actully in Telnet mode. The default is just raw TCP which isn't going to be fully compatible with a Telnet client.

    Yes the PDZmodem that came with RG. Thanks for the suggestion, I will try FDSZ.

    Making some headway.

    I don't remember the commands for DSZ anymore, but its worth a short, there was a file called "SMART PROT" out there ... maybe grab the protocol.dat from it and see if it works with the new ver or not. Of course backup your OLD ones with the pdzmodem in it or else you'll have to steal that again from a new install. ;)

    Thanks for pointing that out. I don't use DOSBOX, so I was running out of things to suggest. ;)

    I managed to get FDSZ to work for downloading. Uploading to RG is still a problem. I keep getting a Transfer Unsuccessful from RG and FDSZ exits with errorlevel 1. Half way there.

    If anyon out there knows the correct commandlines for DSZ for RG to use I would appreciate you posting them.

    Where would one find this "SMART PROT"?

    Thanks

    That link seems broken, HTTP Error 500. Maybe just down.
