Re: KEGS Fun -- ProTERM & Spectrum to Windows Command Line Console

Ewen,

Thanks once again for the input.

I agree, FTP file transfer is a very convenient method of file transfer 
between an emulated IIgs and the emulator's host machine.

In fact, I've used your SAFE2 in GSPort on Windows since it has an 
emulated Uthernet card feature. I believe Sweet16 on MacOS Mojave and 
earlier will do the same.

While I still keep GSPort on my machines, I'm now sold on KEGS as my 
preferred emulator on MacOS and Windows due both to its speed and Kent's 
recent feature additions, particular the serial port to IP server 
capability.

Based on your comment though, I've now experimented with using Marinetti 
on my KEGS emulated IIgs. Since KEGS (unlike GSPort) doesn't offer an 
emulated Uthernet, I thought perhaps I could use one of the serial port 
link layers (i.e. PPP or Direct Connect) combined with KEGS' serial to 
IP server feature and somehow make a network connection to enable 
applications like SAFE2 and Webber to work on KEGS.

So far, I've been unable to do so, but given the myriad capabilities of 
socat to bridge unlike protocols and ports, I plan to keep trying.

Given your expertise with link layers and network protocols, would you 
think that something like the PPP or Direct Connect link layers could be 
used in this scenario, or would you say rather that I'm engaged in a 
waste of time?

One more thing -- the primary reason I like to access the MacOS terminal 
or the Windows command line console from the emulated IIgs is not for 
file transfer, although zmodem can be used there. Rather it is to 
execute commands on the host operating system doing things I won't 
detail here.

Kind regards,




Hugh Hood
