I have been playing with FD again, I hope to be in the front seat ready for any
future releases. Anyway, here's the setup.... I run the main BBS on a
Raspbary Pi box. I run a VM with Windows 10 32Bit to run some DOS doors...
The host PC to the VM is a new box that didn't have an expantion slot to fit
a PCI card so that I could add a serial card. The work around is a
USB->Serial addaptor
I was having a problem with the VM from time to time not initializing the
modem... then the program would drop out. I fixed this by playing with the
power features in windows... now the system does not use a screen saver or
any of the advanced power features.... I don't think it's the screen saver as
much as it was the advanced power features... causing things to sleep after a
few minutes of no activity.
Here's the problerm though.... when In go to use the terminal, or the
mailer... but in the terminal program if I try to dial out with the use of
ALT-D or P ... call from the nodelist or phone book... I get an error message
and it doesn't dial... or if it does dial it'll dial 4 or so number, of an 11
number dial and not connect obviously.
Now, if I were in the terminal and I was to type by hand ATDT18005551212 ...
a number in the phone book or the nodelist it would dial the number and
connect easy as Pi.
I;ve played around a little adding a few ~~~ to delay the dialing to make
sure the dial tone was present... nothing...
It is a VOIP line and a USR Veverything modem.
Ideas??
