• Renegade w/ OS/2 Warp 4

    From doctor wade@21:3/105 to All on Fri Sep 13 13:06:28 2024
    I am trying to setup Renegade v1.35 with OS/2 Warp 4 using SIO1.60D. I am having issues with telnet access to the board. When a call is sent through the modem answers with ATA and immediatly drops the connection. I have tried several answer strings but nothing seems to make a difference. I have SIO set up to use COM1 and COM2 as INTERNET. Has anyone tried this combination successfully?
    Thanks!

    ... Some people have no idea what they're doing, and are really good at it!

    i am not sure what goes wrong, but try this in your config.sys to use sio
    in dos sessions:

    ====
    DEVICE=C:\SIO\SIO.SYS (COM1:57600,INTERNET:3F8,NONE:4,-) (COM2:57600,INTERNET:3E8,NONE:5,-)
    ====
    (should be one line)

    ====
    DEVICE=C:\SIO\VSIO.SYS
    DEVICE=C:\SIO\VX00.SYS ====

    i am using native os2 version with maximus, so i am not sure what can be wrong with a renegade installation :)

    If you find a solution, let me know! I had the same problem, It seems
    like a known issue (search 'reddit Renegade BBS under ARCAOS 5.1 -
    connect problems').

    I finally got it working for an older Renegade (y2ka2) on OS/2 Warp with
    SIO. The trick was to set Renegade's modem answer string to: ATA|~~

    ---
    I also seem to remember have success with ADF fossil driver and SIO
    v1.6d. I may have also used TAME, per the Renegade docs.

    Good luck!

    Did anyone ever try passing RG from a mailer? Back in the 90s when I was using OS/2, I always had FD answer the call and pass it to RG. This may be an issue for decades from the WFC screen.

    Yep. I saw that post and tried the ATA|~~ with no luck. Thanks for your input. I may try a much older version and see if it works.

    I have D'Bridge. I guess I can try using it to answer the phone and pass to
    the BBS.

    I set mine up the same way as yours and had the same results. I found a text file from Sean Dennis explaining how to use SIO1.60D with a copy of his config.sys and copied his config to mine. Same issue. It seems that SIO is doing what it is suppose to do but RG does not like it. I watched a Youtube video by The Serial Port where they set up RG with OS/2 Warp 4 and SIO 1.60D and they had issues until they changed to an older version of RG and their modem config to ATA|~~ and it started connecting.They were using old vintage hardware and I am using a VM. The VM could be the issue on my end. The next thing for me to try is using an old version of RG. I will have to re-watch the video to see what version they used. I seem to remember it was a 1.0 version with a Y2K update?

    That would be interesting to see if it solved the problem. It'd nice to
    run the recent RG release under OS/2 Warp 4 or ArcaOS.

    On another note, PCBOARD (last 15.X update) runs pretty awesome out of
    the box with OS/2 and SIO.

    Success! I use D'Bridge to pass to RG. My bbs command in D'Bridge is
    cd \renegade
    +renegade -B57600 -N1 -Q
    This is with D'Bridge 4 and Rg v1.35 Dos.

    On another note, PCBOARD (last 15.X update) runs pretty awesome out of

    I have PCBOARD 15.4 that came with Gamesrv to use as a front end. It works fine under WInXP but I get a version error and refuses to load when i try it under OS/2 Warp 4. Which version have you had success with?

    I started with 15.3 (dpcb1521.zip) from the BBS Documentary site, got the
    OS/2 native application working per the docs, then upgraded to 15.4.

    Unless I missed it, I didn't see that version. I downloaded dpcb1531.zip and tried to install it. Ran into the same problem I had with another version. During install after your name and password I get an error s_copy: unable to open file "c:\pcb\pcboard.ser" for copying. The file is in the directory and is 128k. I assume that is the serial number it is trying to load?
