would have come had they not gone Bankrupt. :(
You can still add telnet to PCBoard today. With OS/2 (or
eComStation) and Windows. You just need the right tools to get the
job done.

Yeah, 1.60D was the last release of that before SIO2k. For some
reason I could never get 1.60d to work under eCS, but am able to
get SIO2k working under eCS without any issues.

Yeah, 2K does have a wierd way of configuring things, doesn't it?

As you may have read I've come to the same conclusion after being reminded. I had forgotten that I had read it in the SIO documentation.
SIO v1.35 (1994) was the first version I used but upgraded to
v1.60 (dec.1996). That's the version I'm still using.

Do you know where one may find this still? I now that there was a
regkey generator (that Ray Gwinn knows about as per the last
FaceBook chat I had with him) floating around for it somewhere.

Nope, didn't turn up a thing unfortunately. At least nothing I
need.

seriously? the very first link showed me the contents of the
SIO160D.ZIP file and linked to it, too... i just downloaded it (205k)
via lynx on one of my text only linux boxen... the parent directory
links to SIO2k_202 and SIO2k_203 each having a link to their original zip... i checked the first four links and they are all pretty much the same...

Yeah, I got it to install,
however, I got the dreaded black screen of death upon reactivating VMOUSE.SYS and rebooting.
Had to rebuild the VM
and install SIO2k, which seems to be working much better than I
had hoped :)

hunh? reactivating?

certainly sounds like it ;)

Yeah, was playing around with Synchronet 2.30c for OS/2. For some
reason SBBSECHO there generates corrupt outbound packets that
Wildcat! and PX/Wins cannot process. I will have to work on that
some more. In the meantime, I am still using BBBS/2 as my point
system.
as it has been on OS/2, use SIO with vmodem providing the virtual
modem port for the software to talk to... i still use SIO 1.60D
i think we're probably getting off topic for this area... maybe one
of the OS2 echos would be better for more discussion? ;)

I tried the SIO vmodem and it didn't work on warp4, an
incompatible dll problem I recall ... or did you mean you're only
using SIO with serial ports, and not vmodem?
I have an inbound telnet solution for PCBoard. It's a reverse
telnet proxy, written in PERL, runs on linux. Works for me cause I
use a linux box for my router/firewall.
The PCboard nodes connect to the linux proxy with serial ports and
null modem cables, if you have a multiport serial card on the
linux box, or via ethernet and a telnet fossil I wrote. The fossil
needs Novell TCP/IP from Client32, so your node requires that to
run the fossil. Can be either DOS or Windows 3.1. I have a
Windows 3.1 test box set up with 2 nodes working, I think it could
do 4.
It's all free, but a lot of work to get working. People enjoy
talking about the good old days and PCBoard, but few are willing
to invest the time and effort to make it happen.

You sound like a moderator. I think any traffic in this ghost town
should be welcome. :-)
no, i use SIO and Vmodem with both real serial ports and virtual
ports... with both DOS and native OS/2 programs...
true... in many cases, folks have been spolied by the install and go stuff... few really understand how it all works these days :/
The PCboard nodes connect ... blah blah blah
that's pretty deep...

Must work on ECS. But on Warp4, Vmodem gave me some dll error
message and failed to run. I have a Warp4 test partion, maybe I
can try again when I get curious about it.

The 32-bit, and now, 64-bit programming models are easier to work
with, no doubt. But if you never experience the 16-bit DOS pain,
you're not a real programmer. :-)

Nah, not so much. But something to be geeky proud of is my test

which SIO? was it using a cracked registration? there are protections
built in

I agree, of all the previous OS/2 areas we have only the OS2 echo
left

1.60d, as you recommend. No crack, unregistered. Maybe I did
something wrong, or weird. I'll try again when time allows, and
provide a better report.

uh... no... all of the OS/2 areas are still available... only two
were removed from distribution and that was before i got them... i
have all of the OS/2 areas in my stable and their echolistings are
updated monthly as well as each having rules posted in them monthly
;)

Note: I wrote "we have". The others have been removed because of
too low or no activity from the distribution.
I can see from my listing of echoes that some where removed 2003
others 2005. In my own BBS I do still have the echoes open but
there has been no activity in any of them except OS2 and TEAMOS2.
Seasons Greetings,
if your distribution system isn't pulling and distributing them, you
won't see any traffic in them... you might want to send your link an areafix listing all the areas you think you should be pulling from
them and ensure that you really are linked to those areas... if the
system comes back and tell you that some areas do not exist, then it
is time to look further...
Seasons Greetings,
the same to you and your's :)

Yeah, not sure why I had an issue with 1.60D on eCS, but 2k did the
job for me -- once I finally configured out how to set it up correctly. :)

FWIW: do you realize how old most of these messages are that you are responding to? ;)
while i remember writing that message, i don't see it linked to your reply... likely because there's no REPLY line... but it was over a year ago when it was written... if over three then it doesn't even exist in
my bases any more...
