    TB> Hi everyone, I'm trying to configure FrontDoor 24.01 on DosBox-x with   
    TB> Windows 7 32-bit so I can exchange Fidonet mail with IEMSI with my main   
    TB> BBS node, which has the address mail.velenobbs.net and responds on port   
    TB> 24554. The question is this: how do I tell FrontDoor to call my node   
    TB> 2:333/808 at that address and port for mail exchange?   
    TB> Node 2:333/808 is working correctly and uses Synchronet BBS with BinkP.

   I'm not sure if I completely understand  but I'll try to respond.   
      
   FD needs a modem or a virtual modem.   
      
   In Windows, ant it'll do DOS boxes, I use NetSerial.  It acts like a modem and   
   it'll give me a telnet port to call... Lets say 2300. ... and it'll act like a   
   modem.   
      
   I know someone who uses something like this... bbs.dsbbs.com.   
      
   You call his BBS and it'll ask you to press escape twice and in you go.    
   Though he doesn't use FD he uses DOS based mailer (DB) and a DOS BBS RA>   
      
   I use NetSerial with a Windows Based BBS whereby I have 1 mode send mail back   
   and forth like the old days.   
      
   OS/2   
   :Start   
   Ray Gwinn's comm drivers for OS/2, V1.60d.   
   SIO.SYS and VSIO.SYS are replacements of the   
   OS2 communications drivers COM.SYS and   
   VCOM.SYS which come with OS/2.  VX00.SYS   
   provides FOSSIL and virtual 16550 support   
   for DOS programs SIO can be ordered to   
   supporting any number of ports.  Vmodem now   
   has both inbound and outbound Telnet.   
   :Stop   
      
   Look for this file for OS/2 if you want it to work in OS/2.   
      
   Back to DOS... You need to vitalize a com port.      
      
      
   I gave you a BBS address I'd call that   and ask the Sysop what he does.   
      
   IB Joe, Pronouns (FJB/LGB)
