Hello, All.

I've got DOORWAY configured on here to allow me to drop to DOS, but I'd like to
figure out a way for me to drop to CMD.EXE from remote (I have the option triple-passworded, so it's not easy to get to :). Anyone know how I can do that? I can pass the OS/2 com handle, com port to the program.

Later,
Sean

I've got documentation on how do do it from Maximus BBS software, using maxpipe.exe..... Looks like first parameter to maxpipe is the com port handle.
The second parameter is the cmd.exe program....

Don't know if that will help.

OS2You is the only thing I've heard of for OS2 with Doorway's level of functionality. I tinkered with the trial, but it was pretty pricey to register
at the time, apparently targeting commercial use. Ultimately I decided to let the BBS callers own their own DOS machine instead of share my OS2 machine and that eliminated the need for me.

I think I had that working before, but it didn't completely work for some reason. I'll dig it out of my Max archive and see if it'll work. Thanks for the idea.

Might be an issue with the com port watch dog working with Maximus. If you hang up on the modem, I believe this kills the command window, and let's Max retake control, etc.... It's been too long since I looked at this....

Good luck....

Here's how I do it:
