  • Mystic BBS 1.12 A46 and Modem Support over Serial Port

    From Alisha Stutz@2:301/113 to All on Saturday, April 17, 2021 17:48:48
    Hi,

    Is there an example somewhere of how to run a modem via a serial port on the Mystic BBS so that you can still maintain something past? I would like to use one of my phone numbers for the BBS even though no one will probably use it.

    Best regards

    I use the Synchronet SEXPOTS app to do that:

    It will listen for a RING & answer the modem and then pass that connection
    off to Mystic via telnet.
