I have a dos application I'm running under dosemu that talks to a serial port (an old tradewars terminal helper app), which I want to use to talk to a telnet session. I can tell dosemu to use a FIFO (I created /dev/telnet) as COM2:, and then I can use dd or cat to read from the fifo at the terminal, but that's only one-way. I think what I need is a unix socket, which I give to dosemu as the serial port, and then use dd or cat to connect stdin/stdout to a telnet (or netcat) session. I don't know how to do this. Any suggestions? Thanks, -Alex PS: Yes, for those old BBS hands, I want to play telnet Tradewars games using TWHELPER or the like! __________________ T \ Alex Winbow \______________ Houston/Austin E \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] \_________________ U.of X \________ http://uts.cc.utexas.edu/~awinbow \ A \_____________________________________\ S --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Send administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
