Unable to connect with modemu2k-0.0.5

[aianson]

modeumk2k-0.0.5 doesn't seem to work for me here.

I saw your slackbuild for modemu2k so I grabbed it and installed it here on a fresh slackware64 install. It built and installed fine. It runs fine along with minicom but doesn't connect to the remote host.

I uninstalled 0.0.5 and used the slackbuild script (just editing the version) to build 0.0.4 and that does work for me.

I have a dual stack here, IPv4 and IPv6.

Sorry for the vague report, I'm not sure what's happening.

My first guess would be you'll need to change the format for specifying the port... note the ReleaseNotes...

Are you using host[:port] or host [port]. If you're not using any port, then it should default to 23 and work; if it doesn't, I did something wrong. :)

Changing the way the port is specified was needed to allow IPv6 hosts to be specified. At least, I knew of no other way to do it.

I tested with ipv4 and ipv6 but separately. If the port isn't the problem, I may need to add some code to "force" one or the other. Like telnet has an option to force one or the other.

Oh.. I missed that detail.. :)

I have installed 0.0.5 now and updated my dialing directory. My own BBS is on port 2030 so I needed to change it. Working fine now.. thanks!

You're welcome! Very glad it was an issue easy to solve ;)

Thanks for reaching out.

I've "pinned" the issue to make it more visible in case that affects anyone else.

You're welcome to make a pull request to add your BBS to the README, there's a short section at the bottom reserved for that.

Yep, likely a good idea.. :)

I get a fair bit of source from github but I have never used anything other than git clone so I don't know what a pull request is or how to go about it. I wouldn't mind adding my BBS to the README but I fear the unknown. My BBS is called The Rusty MailBox and is available 24/7/365 (except for maintenance times) at trmb.ca on port 2030 if you would like to add it.. :)

No problem. Done. :)
