  • Telnet Door v1.12 A46 (64-Bit Linux)

    Hi All,

    I'm currently experiencing a strange issue whilst attempting to port/test some door32 routines via Mystic v1.12 A46 (64-Bit Linux): whilst the telnet I/O routines appear to work find via Mystic v1.12 A46 (32-Bit Windows), the Linux 64-Bit version of Mystic continues to listen/echo the telnet port even after control has been passed to the external door32 program.

    To clarify: the issue manifests itself as a race condition where both BBS and door appear to contesting the input buffer - sometimes Mystic grabs/echos the input, and other times the door appears to prevail.

    I'd be grateful to know if anyone is able to confirm and/or replicate this issue?

    Best Regards

    DOOR32 in Unix uses STDIO redirection. Direct modem/telnet functionality was used on systems that couldn't use STDIO redirection because of a console API (DOS, Windows, OS/2, etc)

    ... "I am" is the shortest sentence in English. Is 'I do' the longest?

    Thanks g00r00, that makes a lot more sense now :)

    As always, your assistance is very much appreciated.
