• New to Tcpser, Don't know cmd

    From mpej00@gmail.com@3:770/3 to All on Tue Sep 17 11:12:52 2019
    Hey, trying to emulate a modem to work on my old computer running XP Pro x32. Have Cygwin downloaded, and have tcpser 1.0rc11 downloaded. Looking at the read
    me I'm trying to put in the sample they give, but I have no clue what it means.
    This is the
    sample:

    tcpser -d /dev/ttys0 -s 38400 -l 7 -tsSiI -i "s0=1" -p 6400

    So I'm in cmd inputting the following (its automatically going c:\Documents and
    Settings\Administrator>)

    desktop\tcpser1.0rc11\tcpser\ d /dev/ttys0 s 38400 l 7 tsSiI i "s0=1" p 6400

    But all it says is that its not an internal command, yadda yadda yadda.
    I have no clue how to use cmd. All i know how to do is boot a floppy disk and find directories.

    I'm trying to link my internet to a virtual modem so I can run an old program that can't use modern WLAN.

    Any help is appreciated? Hopefully this little forum isn't dead.

    My guess is that Cygwin cannot access the hardware of the host it's
    running on directly.

    This forum is about CBM machines. I cannot see you are relating to
    Commodore. You might want to post this into alt.folklore.computers
    although I think Windows XP is too new for this group.

    Whoops. In the readme of tcpser they listed this group and another to go to if you had questions. I saw that it was C64 stuff and just figured it was a multiple topic forum. Sorry about that!
