Serial Port & Modem Emulation #170

Open pheller opened 2 years ago

Hello,

It would be great to have support for serial ports and modem emulation in JSDOS. This would be useful for running old terminal programs, BBS systems, etc.

As I understand, this would essentially require a web socket proxy given the complication of cross-origin policies preventing arbitrary TCP connections.

Hi, yep it will be great, also want to do this.

Would love to see this as well... I could write a proxy server pretty easily in Node, Deno, Rust or C# ... but no idea where to even start with the js-dos side. Frankly, I've never even written any code targeting a DOS environment let alone serial/modem software, so just without a clue.
