Hi Max, i have a theory, you screenshot shows that the cursor is in the next line, so it looks that it get a "\n" (LineFeed). But perhaps you are talking to a dosbox that needs a "\r\n" (CR\LF). Because the never sees the \r it does not echo the commands and does actually nothing.
perhaps you can try something like: echo -e "3 @ 50\r\n" | nc 192.168.1.104 3100 (nc is netcat, i see no authentication so i hope that it works of cause i could not test) If this works it would offer the opportunity to programm that beast very easy using a simple shell script :) If this does not work in the first attempt you may try "\n\r". If everything breaks, use "tcpdump" to sniff the tcp connection like tcpdump -i <interface> -vvv host 192.168.1.104 mostlikely this will be not on your phone you may need a "full" linux computer for that. note: the usual disclaimer applies, if you blow up your device you are on your own .... re, wh Max aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa schrieb: > Hi Walter, > The Busybox version is 1.13.2.
