In order to run fdsz on a telnet system, with virtulized ports, do you
need a fossil driver?

I am running a DOS BBS program under OS/2 using Vmodem SIO2K. The BBS
program itself works fine, but the protocols do not. The BBS program
is running without a fossil (unless Vmodem is considered a fossil).
Would fdsz help fix my problem?

A fossil is a big help, and if multinode, probably manditory.

Vmodem is only an modem emulator and I believe you can't run Vmodem
without SIO. SIO is the fossil. If you have the sio lines in
config.sys stating which ports are "INTERNET" then you are running
a fossil.

IN = TCPIP signal -> Vmodem -> SIO -> BBS
OUT = BBS -> SIO -> Vmodem -> TCPIP signal

DSZ should work as long as the pass params are correct and you
have the proper dsz environ vars set.

DSZ works quite well here in telnet, tho I've only set it up with
Zmodem.

you are correct... that line is not automatically added during installation... and, as mentioned in another message in another echo, i don't put that line in my config.sys, either... no need to since all tasks do not need access to the fossil or com ports... i do it by putting that line in the properties for the tasks that need it...

Right you are. I've got mine in the dos properties of each node's

It's a 3rd party ansi.sys. I've found it to be faster then
MS's ansi.sys and if you're into playing with ansi, it has more
functionality.

Yep, I've got a fossil, then. ;-)

Yeah, I figured out that I had an enviro thing set wrong in a set path.
Fixed that, and all my external protocols work fine now.

I have wondered if Ymodem-G is appropriate to have available on a telnet
bbs. The caller may have dialed-into their ISP using an error-correcting modem, but I don't think that the cable modem on this end is. ;-)

Telnet runs over TCP and TCP is an "error-correcting protocol", so in theory Ymodem-G should run just dandy over Telnet. In reality, it depends on the implementation (protocol driver) used.

Where under Properties do you place that line?

I do currently have it in my CONFIG.SYS file currently.

in the DOS settings in the devices section...

there's is really nothing wrong with that... it just means that VX00 is loaded in all tasks when they are started... i just preferred to keep my stuff seperated... very rarely do i need to access fossil stuffs outside my normal bbs tasks...

right click -> settings -> session tab -> DOS settings button -> DOS_DEVICE

i have the following listed in each icon for each node of my bbs...

SIZE=0 C:\TCPIP\BIN\VDOSTCP.SYS
SIZE=0 C:\OS2\MDOS\ANSI.SYS
SIZE=0 C:\SIO\VX00.SYS

SIZE=0 is like the old LOADHIGH command ;)

NANSI.SYS is another ANSI driver... there were several thirdparty ANSI drivers available... some allowed for the disabling of key macros and others simply did
not support key macros... i also had one that supported ANSI music but didn't use it very much...

TCP/IP has built in error detection and correction... however, it doesn't always work as it should... case in point is that the BINKP folk had to go back
and add error detection because there were cases and times that the data arrived at the other end incomplete or otherwise corrupted...
