|    File transfer using NetFoss    |
|    19 Oct 12 17:56:11    |
      I'm using NetFoss to enable "modem" access to my BBS via telnet.               And it works like a charm except for file transfers.               Every time a file transfer is requested, my (old, outdated and unsupported)       BBS software tries to open a COM port that doesn't even exist, or is used for       other purposes, on my computer. Mostly COM1.               Is there a way to make NetFoss, and then my BBS program, try another COM       port? The NetFoss document indicate that it supports 256 COM ports, but how do       I make my BBS program understand this?               I have this              ?s:\tcl\netfoss\nf.bat /n%n /h%h s:\bin\tcl_tn.bat %n               ...line in my "Door and parameter" setting under Externals. And my       tcl_tn.bat looks like this:              @echo off       REM %n from nf.bat       set TCLNODE=%1       s:       cd \tcl              REM Start BTrieve, the data base handler       s:\tcl\btrv.exe /M:64 /P:1536 /C /F:3              REM Start the BBS       s:\tcl\tcl2.exe -b9600 -f -p2              REM Stop BTrieve       s:\tcl\btstop.exe              REM Back to Argus       cd \argus              --- Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; sv-SE; rv:1.9.1.16) Gecko/20101125        * Origin: news://felten.yi.org (2:203/2)    |
