[Leif Bloomquist]

Clocky's post on comp.sys.cbm finally gave me the push I needed to finish this ;-)

Changelog:

' Version 1.3 (Fixes by Eric Pearson)
' Raise RTS on outbound connection
' Raise DTR on outbound connection
' Lower RTS when Call disconnects and Lower DTR when caller disconnects are preserved in INI
'
' Version 1.4 Option to force RTS always on by adding -rts to the command line.
' Fixed bug where A/ only remembered the port a single time.
' Option to disable +++ detection.
' ATS0 will put BBS back on-hook.
'
' Version 1.4a Bugfix! Disconnect on RS232 Break only worked in Diag mode before.
' Bugfix! Port for Outgoing calls is now a Long (was Integer)

Finally I tried an updated version of this BBS server. Unfortunately they all don't work for my BBS. The one and only version that works is v0.8a in where I did some modifications. These small mods where added in later versions but somehow it won't do for me.

My BBS needs an "always active" Hayes modem so it seems that I needed that feature to be enabled in v1.4a but the BBS stays looping like someone tries to connect. No matter what setting I change, it always thinks someone is trying to connect, which of course fails as there is no one online, and after a timeout it all starts again.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Please enable all the debugging/logging options and post some of the log here for me to look at.
