Hi, i have a Problem.
We are selling Computer Cash Desk now for 10 years. The Cashdesk Software is
a DOS Program. We have now Problems with Windows because it kills the xBase
Databases.
I explain the Cashdesk now how it works on the PC�s
There is a PC for every Cashdesk, mostly 1-3, and one PC for the Office
Work. These Computers are connected over Ethernet via RG58 or
PatchPanel/Hubs. The CashDesk consist of a Computer with a CashBox. The
CashBox is connected over a COMPort to the PC. The work is done over this
CashBox and the normal PC-Keyboard is very rarly used.
Now the Linux Situation how i want it that it works:
I want now create a Server using Linux and DosEmu which is also used as
office working place.
There is the first problem, but i think this don�t belong to you: I need an
AutoLogon.
Connected to this Server are 1,2 or 3 Terminals, i think over a ethernet.
This Terminals should be the Cash Desks.
Now the Problem is: I have to connect the CashBox to the Terminal via COM.
How does DOSEMU like this? If i run DosEmu on this Terminal, is the Comport
of the Terminal used or that from the Server? I have to turn on the
Terminal, then automaticaly the Logon to the Server have to bee made AND the
CashBox Program has to be Started AND after working the connection has to be
closed.
Please I hope you can help me there...
I am using SuSE Linux 6.1 with Kernel 2.2.5, DosEmu 98.? (I believe 6).
