X-Mailer: TBBS/PIMP v3.25 Date: Thu, 18 May 95 20:18:36 -0600 Subject: FreeBSD and TBBS To: questions@FreeBSD.org Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello-- We have the TBBS BBS program running our modem hunt group. We want our callers to be able to use the Interchange option module for TBBS to connect to our FreeBSD machine via a hardwired serial port. Everything seems to be working great, but we have one problem-- FreeBSD always seems to leave the Carrier Detect signal on, and thus TBBS always thinks someone is on the line, so we cannot "grab" it to allow our callers to get access. I am sure there is a way to have FreeBSD only send "login" requests when it detects a Carrier Detect (or a couple of CRLFs or something). Can you please tell me how to do this? Also, we have a Boca 4 port COM I/O adapter. Can this work on FreeBSD to allow us to have 4 hardwired serial connections to our BBS? Thanks! Justin
