Hi everyone.
I wanted to ask if anyone here might be using or might have used TCPSER by Jim Brain? I'm trying to setup my 4 node PC DOS BBS and I'm doing so by having a high speed 4-port serial board in my Windows PC that connects over to a 4-port jigh speed serial board in my 486 (BBS) PC.
I've tried Leif's TellBBS program, and it worked fine until I tried uploading or downloading. For some reason none of the supported tranfer protocols worked. I don't know if it was the protocols that were the problem...actually it probably wasn't, but it appears a problem with the program handling file transfers. The transfers would get up to about 4% and then CRC errors would flood the transfer forcing the BBS to retry the transfer. I tried all speeds of connection from 2400-115000.
Anyhow, it was suggested that I try Jim Brain's TCPSER. The only problem is that there wasn't any documentation and it is command line based. I did try to have it setup, but I couldn't figure it out exactly. I wanted to ask if anyone here might have experience with it and if they could PM an example batch file to invoke TCPSER. I'd like to see how the batch file would call TCPSER and activate 2 - 4 nodes (serial ports). I did read on one of Jim's postings that to initialize TCPSER for more than one node does not require multiple instances of TCPSER. A single instance can handle all multiple connections. I hope someone here might be able to help me.
Thanks
John
