Hi Wall E. Weasel

What version of NetFoss are you using? There was previously an issue (fixed in 1.23R or sometime around there) which caused a false loss of carrier from time to time. Is BRE getting this situation every time
the door loads or just on occasion? The NetFoss bug was pretty intermittent.

Okay my netfoss version is 1.14R but for same reason it working now
but what to use it without fossil if I can.

I changed to D3 Exec /w DOSXTRN (Win32)
Data c:\bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre\bre.bat %3

but after the no to enter bre it didnt enter jast came back to menu

D3 is used to shell to 32 bit doors. It doesn't actually load DOSXTRN.
You'll need to use DX instead. Also, have you manually installed DOSXTRN.EXE to the Mystic directory and SBBSEXEC.DLL to
Windows\System32?

Yes I notice I put it on D3 instead of DX but done now and downloaded DOSXTRN.rar from mysticbbs\downloads and put Mystic directory and SBBSEXEC.DLL to

Windows\System32?

Don't forget to stop loading NetFoss when using this option. DOSXTRN provides its own FOSSIL driver.

okay is is my Data c:\bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre\bre.bat %3 line

To stop using FOSSIL support in BRE you'll need to edit the game's RESOURCE.DAT file and set the FOSSIL option to NO. Depending on your setup you might have more than one of the resource files to edit.

okay, I have done that now

I had a go at but doesn'y work for me, nothing happens after I press the no of bre on the menu

so there must be same thing else I have todo, do I have to change mt data line ie

c:\bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre\bre.bat %3

Thank you for your help

Hi Wall E. Weasel

Yes I notice I put it on D3 instead of DX but done now and downloaded DOSXTRN.rar from mysticbbs\downloads and put Mystic directory and SBBSEXEC.DLL to Windows\System32?

I downloaded this version and tried it. This version of DOSXTRN does
not have UART emulation. It does function as a FOSSIL driver, but
that's what you're attempting to get rid of.

Be patient for a day. A newer version may somehow appear on your BBS.

Cool, I wait for the newer version.

okay is is my Data c:\bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre\bre.bat %3 line

Can you post your BRE.BAT file if it isn't too huge? I don't think
it's the problem but let's make sure.

bre
@echo off
c:
cd \bbs\mystic\mydoors\fsxnet\bre
srdoor
bre planetary
bre
c:
cd \bbs\mystic
mis poll 21:1/10
exit

I had a go at but doesn'y work for me, nothing happens after I press
the no of bre on the menu

What do you see in the BBS window for that node when it attempts to run the game?

The graphic was all wierd menu all over the place

Do you have a physical serial port at COM1 on the BBS machine? If so, BRE is using that if it runs with the Fossil option set to No. You should see the game running but with no data going to the remote user.

I didn't thing so, I using hyper-v guest so really cannot answer that one

If you don't have one I would expect the NTVDM to barf when BRE
attempts to un.

yes I got that NTVDM when I was using nefoss the first time.

Thank you
