Thanks for the FOSSIL overview.

I am a little confused by the vmodem vs physical modem stuff, but I have a very wild, shot in the dark, suggestion.  Try switching on CSM AND limiting your system to a single processor and see if SIO will run.  To limit to a single processor add /MAXCPU=1 to the ACPI.PSD line in CONFIG.SYS, e.g.

PSD = ACPI.PSD /MAXCPU=1

The reason I suggest this is the COM.SYS on my AOS 5.1 system is dated 8/3/2002 and SIO2K was released 6/6/2002, so they were both revised/released about the same time, suggesting that maybe the issue isn't in the COM stack/driver/interface but rather someplace else.

One processor should still be fast enough to handle multiple BBS "lines" - after all people were running multi-line BBS on machines before there were multi-core processor machines.

Nah. I was being a complete brain dead idiot. Too tired.

As it turns out, the error message was exactly correct. It could not connect to the server. Which server. DDNSAPS.CMD... Normally started from tcpstart.cmd Doh! This was done to implement remote config, but it's also used locally.

Funny how it whinges that it can't connect to a server when it's not running.

Hence the brain dead me bit...

Please return to your normal programming, whilst I reboot myself. :)

FYI:

The RPM Tickets should be open here: https://github.com/bitwiseworks/rpm-issues

Just as a note, usually users post their issues on users forum to see if other user share the same issue. Once the issue it is confirmed the procedure it is to open a ticket or contact the developer. 

Regards

Hi

Why not open a ticket?
As I don't think it will be resolved here.
Its allways better to open a ticket.
As then the maintainer reads it, and he can answered you.

1000% agreed with Tellie. Developers complain they get no feedback and in genereal users complain about the quality of the sofftware.
So please open a ticket.

OK, didn't realize where the developers are, pretty crappy situation. At that the whole world seems to be going down the flusher.
As for the problem, yes it should be fixed. There's always people with old hardware/operating systems vs developers with the latest and endless ram etc.

I think it's better to fix the problem itself than to create new workarounds. AVX support is a really big plus.

The OS/4 developers are currently at war in their own country ...[censored]... people there might have other concerns right now.

Tellie, could you post your diffs? I never did get a the exports working here and my qtupnp.dll was much bigger.

Can you ask the OS4 people for a switch to turn off the AVX handling? I forget the basics but the OS does advertise whether it supports AVX and that would all that needs to be turned off.
