Dosemu Crash
Hi ! A big problem for me... I use dosemu-1.0.2.1 from Debian...really nice product ! I do a remote novell server connection by SSH with this solution and I print some document in local. Sometimes ( random but often !) I have a crash with this sort of message : Mar 19 15:09:25 costes kernel: IPX: bound socket 0x400C.

DOSEMU Instrument Control
Help!! We have an instrument that uses bidirectional EPP under dos/windows. We feel our lives would be simplified if we could replace the windows OS wirh LINUX. Our instrument is a spectrophotometer, with DOS graphics. Graphics launch when we try, but it seems the parallel port is not interacting with the instrument. Can anyone offer suggestions? Are we asking to much from DOSEMU? If not, what guidance can you offer to get these units talking?

Re: Printing Problem
Hi Bart, What can modify in the file src/base/dev/misc/lpt.c to resolve my problem?

Re: DOSEMU Instrument Control
I am following up my earlier post with some clarifications. First the earlier post: We have an instrument that uses bidirectional EPP under dos/windows. We feel our lives would be simplified if we could replace the windows OS with LINUX. Our instrument is a spectrophotometer, with DOS graphics. Graphics launch when we try, but it seems the parallel port is not interacting with the instrument. Can anyone offer suggestions? Are we asking to much from DOSEMU? If not, what guidance can you offer to get these units talking? Now clarifications: DOSemu version is 1.0.2. Linux version is Red Hat 7.2. We are running a DOS executable. We have no source code for controlling this instrument. The parallel port needs SPP not bidirectional EPP as I mentioned originally.

Now clarifications:
DOSemu version is 1.0.2.
Linux version is Red Hat 7.2.
We are running a DOS executable. We have no source code for controlling this
instrument.
The parallel port needs SPP not bidirectional EPP as I mentioned originally.
you could try running dosemu as root and putting the relevant port numbers
in $_ports in dosemu.conf
From the dosemu-howto:
4.8. How can I get the parallel ports to work?
The dosemu.conf has lines at the end to redirect printers to either
lpr or a file. If you want direct access to the bare metal, comment
out these emulation lines, and add the line
$_ports { device /dev/lp0 fast range 0x3bc 0x3bf } # lpt0
for the monitor card printer port (corresponds to /dev/lp0), or
$_ports { device /dev/lp1 fast range 0x378 0x37f } # lpt1
or
$_ports { device /dev/lp1 fast range 0x278 0x27f } # lpt2
for LPT1 (/dev/lp1) or LPT2 (/dev/lp2) respectively(97/2/9).
Hans Lermen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) writes:
But NOTE: these lines should not be _added_ simply, the string should
be concatenated such as:
$_ports =
$_ports = $_ports, device /dev/lp0 fast range 0x3bc 0x3bf
=
This blank is important
Though this would not normally be a good idea security-wise, if it is a
stand-alone box it should not be a big deal.
If running dosemu as root you might need to copy
dosemu.conf to /etc/dosemu.conf
global.conf to /var/lib/dosemu/global.conf

How to leave printer_timeout infinite? == This resolve? You should play with that value. In general, dosemu sends a file for spooling timeout seconds after a write. If the DOS app waits longer between any two characters you should make this value higher. A very high value would mean that you'd have to wait infinitely long until printing starts :-) If that doesn't help then you could generate debug output with dosemu options -D+p to investigate further.

Ultima Underworld
Anyone gotten Ultima Underworld to work properly w/ DOSEMU? I can get it running, but moving the mouse corrupts the display and the inventory and stats display portions of the screen don't get drawn at all. Running XFree86 4.2 w/ a TNT2 and NVidia's driver, if that matters.

RE: NetWare dosemu: fate of ipxutils?
We use dosemu to connect to Netware servers. In board terms we :- 1 Use ipx_interface to start ipx networking 2 Edit the dosemu.conf for ipx support 3 Start dosemu 4 run VLM.EXE and connect to the server This gives us true IPX access to Netware but alas no SPX (needed for rconsole, btrieve etc). Regards, David -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Alleman, Lowell Sent: Thursday, 21 March 2002 13:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: NetWare dosemu: fate of ipxutils? Hi, I'm trying to connect to NetWare from within DOSEMU. I've tried mounting the file systems on Linux then mapping them to the DOSEMU session using lredir, but the DOS app that I'm running needs direct access to NetWare and IPX stuff. I read over the NOVELL-HOWTO file. It mentions that I need a build the utilities under the ipxutils directory, but I can't find that directory in the current stable release (dosemu-1.0.2) The NOVELL-HOWTO was written in 1995, on linux 1.2.2 with DOSEMU pre0.53.55. I imaging that things have changed since then. Does anybody have any new information regarding NetWare and DOSEMU? FYI: I'm trying to use the Direct-IPX connection using the 802.3 frame type. Any information will be appreciated, thanks!

How to leave printer_timeout infinite? == This resolve? You mentioned that your program generates a report for a 5 minutes, which seems to be unreasonably long. Is it so also in a pure dos, or such a slowdown is dosemu-specific? If it is dosemu-specific, then you should try to increase a $_hogthreshold value to make a faster processing, so you will probably not trigger a timeout then. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe linux-msdos in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
