  • Telnet on Arca

    From Rick Smith@1:340/202 to All on Sat Nov 14 08:33:08 2020
    Greetings All!

    I have decided to probably put max or lora on my arca installation.. I plan to use hpt/binkd (hoping max without squish may do jam?) anyhow I installed vsio2k and it appears to work.. vmodem starts and runs no errors... However for the life of me I cannot find documentation to have it listen for telnet ports.. Ive searched high and low, logged on to probably 25 BBS's looking, tried reaching out at os2world and fb no usable data.. Has anyone here got that to work? If so feel like helping me out?

    Thanks in advance

    I am using v1.60 and here is my entries into config.sys. I am not sure if 2k works the same or not, But this might get you headed in the right direction.

    REM SIO Setup
    DEVICE=c:\sio\sio.sys (COM1:115200,INTERNET:3F8,4,-) (COM2:115200,INTERNET:2F8,3,-) (COM3:115200,INTERNET:3E8,4,-) (COM4:115200,INTERNET:2E8,3,-)
    DEVICE=c:\sio\vsio.sys
    DEVICE=c:\sio\vx00.sys

    The first DEVICE line is assigning the comports to use for telnet. I have 4 of them setup. vsio and vx00 are DOS drivers I believe. s

    Thankyou for that... I did try your config lines with vsio2k and crashed system... So I installed 160 and it seems to boot fine and claims to be running... when I run vmodem from a command prompt it loads and says that it is fine.. So setting those com ports to "internet" is that the only variable? Is there no where to mention telnet and perhaps a port? or does it just listen for any traffic? So far I can get it to react to an incoming telnet....

    ANyhow thank you I am another step further I suppose...

    Hi, Rick!


    I have also been looking for help with SIO2K for a long time and
    the result of everything is a functional configuration so that I have
    2x standard COM1 and COM2 and 2x VMODEM on COM3 and COM4.

    You can find the necessary here: www.popper.cz/ecs-arcaos/Rick

    Thank you very much robin... I did not know how to use your devlist? is that placed in sio2k dir or? I tried using it as sio2k.cfg which created errors at boot so I guessed wrong I believe... Thank you so much for your help.
