RS232 pak dll feature #10

Open abcbarryn opened 8 years ago

abcbarryn commented 8 years ago

It would be really nice to have an RS232 pak emulation that would connect to an IP and port address. That way I could use VCC to run terminal software or accept incoming connections without using a DriveWire server. DriveWire becker port support is nice, but having to run a server process just to get this ability is a pain.

I wonder if the two could be merged? The Becker port seems really like a specialization of the ability to connect to an arbitrary port for RS232 running a particular protocol.

The Becker port/Drivewire protocol also allows you to access files and storage over the network and requires a separate server. The idea I had here is: 1) To not require a separate server. 2) To emulate an RS232 pak and a modem using the network and TCP/IP instead of disk storage. 3) To be compatible with existing RSDOS terminal software.
