I remember Jim saying something about wanting a GUI designed a long time ago. I just stumbled across this book at my local library: "Designing Highly Useable Software" by Jeff Cogswell. Nice book.
Perhaps I could sketch out an idea of the GUI... I'll go through the features it supports and see what I can come up with. Don't know anything about Java programming, though.
Doesn't Microsoft Word have a forms designer that lets you lay out UI's for scripting and such? I'm not too familiar with which programs might let me do a mockup. Any ideas?

You could just copy the BBS Server GUI  GUI design in Java can be pretty easy. Just use Netbeans (my favorite) or Eclipse (also good but can be flaky) and design the GUI visually. It then writes the Swing code for you (Java's GUI extensions are called Swing). From there you just write a few accessor functions so tcpser can read the GUI settings, and you're done. |

Well, um, I sat down over the weekend and sketched out a GUI using TrollTech's QT Designer program. Sorry about the size of these PNG files, I had no idea they were so darn big (file size-wise, not pixel dimensions).  er, hm. Actually, I guess you can't just stick a picture in here, you have to upload it first somewhere... anyone got a spot they can host the pictures? |

I run a web server here, email me ( [myname] at cubeinc dot net ) where [myname] is john, and I'll set up ftp access so you can upload pictures and edit them.

tcpser4j is all designed to support an optional GUI, but as it's not my personal itch to scratch, go for it.
The main server sits in a static loop doing nothing, but it has handles to each Modem Bank and by definition all the modems. I'm sure I missed some methods here and there, but they should be easy to add.

Uhhh... *looks around uncertainly* I have no idea what you just said. I think it was in English. |
