I installed Telegard and I'm trying to Telnet into it. I'm using Net2bbs and Netfoss. After playing around and experimenting I'm unable to Telnet in.
I'm using SyncTerm and logging in local. Net2BBS says it is "Resolving your IP Adress..."

This is what I copied from the Net2BBS window:

I got it to open netfoss but it gives me a runtime 200 error for some reason. And then closes the node. I don't get it.

Isn't telegard suppose to be run in DosBox? The way it is in that commmand is trying to open it in the Windows CMD. I'm I wrong? I get the first part where its opening NetFoss.

I put c:\telegard\telegard -N*N -Q -B115200 in a sperate batch file. I also tried to put the whole COMMAND: line from net2bbs.ini in the batch file and run the batch file from net2bbs.ini without any luck. But no luck. Like I said in another post i'm running DosBox so I'm wondering how Telgard can launch doing it this way. It needs to launch in DosBox.

Howdy,

I got it to open netfoss but it gives me a runtime 200 error for some reason. And then closes the node. I don't get it.

Runtime 200 error is a pascal problem on new computers (CPU's are too fast).

You'll need to slow down your (emulated) CPU, or install a TSR that intercepts the issue and plugs it. (Google runtime 200 error, it should give you some hits to fix it.)

Runtime Error 200 (Divide by zero) is usually caused by a bug in Turbo
Pascal (older versions) - https://www.pcmicro.com/elebbs/faq/rte200.html#:~: text=Run%20Time%20Error%20200%20(Divide,unit%20included%20with%20these%20com pilers.

I used TPPatch to fix mine.

I don't use DosBox at all, just Windows 10 32bit (the 32bit part being the key). It'll run these 16bit applications without needing anything like a VM or DosBox. The only other thing I had to do was enable "legacy console" in the command prompt.

OMG! I don't know what I was thinking. Major brain fart. I originally was trying to get this done on Windows 10 64 with DosBox and then switched to Win7. And forgot that Win7 32 bit will run these without using DosBox. DUH!

Your messgae just remineded me. Thank You! The sad thing is I'm running my BBS on a Win7 32 OS, so major brain fart. Unbelieveable!

Thanks to all that offered help.
