  • WINXP-Fossil-BinkleyTerm

    From Russell Tiedt@5:7105/1 to All on Sunday, May 13, 2007 14:33:44
    Hi,

    Due to the loss of my Linux sever (bad power) I need to get a dial-up system working with WINXP.

    So how do I do this, which fossils work, which version of BinkleyTerm works best, no BBS support required, just a mail only node. Done this previously on WIN98 ... , and it worked well.

    Due to the loss of my Linux sever (bad power) I need to
    get a dial-up system
    working with WINXP.

    So how do I do this, which fossils work, which version
    of BinkleyTerm works
    best, no BBS support required, just a mail only node.
    Done this previously on
    WIN98 ... , and it worked well.

    I think any BinkleyTerm DOS or Win32 version will work. It appears even the DOS
    version of BinkleyTerm works equally well under Win32 OS (ie. no time slice problems).

    Because you're not passing hot com ports to any other application (eg. BBS) you
    don't have to fuss over which fossil.

    I use ADF:

    ADF_150.ZIP 28253 22-08-02 ADF v1.50 serial port FOSSIL driver. ADF is a
    serial port FOSSIL driver for high speed modem
    users. Supports FIFO UARTs 16550, 16650 and
    16750, 115200 bps, any port, any IRQ, any FIFO
    trigger level, FOSSIL rev level 5 and
    multitasking environments (such as Windows 3,
    Windows 95/98 and OS/2). Now freeware! (Go to
    the [43]AnDan home page.)

    Will give it a shot, while I try and build a stable hardware platform, for a new Linux system, Linux is easy, and just works ... :-)
