Well, I haven't needed to be able to do this but after reading your
description of how to do this, I think you might be over complicating
things a bit.

My KEGS v0.91 Serial Port Configuration is all set to the defaults
(Use real ports if avail, Send full 8-bit data, Simple socket
emulation mode, Modem with incoming and outgoing emulation).

I started KEGS, ran Spectrum, typed ATZ to initialize the "modem".
Spectrum is set to use the modem port (slot 2).  I then set up started
HyperTerminal and told it to use a TCP/IP connection to connect to my
current IP address on port 6502.  Spectrum started displaying RING
messages and when I typed ATA into Spectrum and press enter I got a
CONNECT 9600 message and was able to type messages back and forth
between Spectrum and HyperTerminal.  Hitting the disconnect button in
HyperTerminal displayed NO CARRIER in Spectrum and I could reconnect
them after I typed ATH into Spectrum.

I'm sure if I allowed access through my firewall to that port, it
would probably work fine.  No need for any other programs.

Just so you know, I also sometimes use Spectrum under KEGS to connect
to Syndicomm to chat.  I have Spectrum set to initialize the modem
before dialing with an ATZ init string.  I have a dialing entry for
Syndicomm that is set to ATDTsyndicomm.com.  This should work in
ProTERM as well.

 CUT the obvious from my address if you want to e-mail me



Reason why I wanted to use TCPSER4j is because the built "Modem"
emulation within KEGS is hardware based and not software based.  So if
someone were to setup a bbs and cut the line, there is no guarantee
that they disconnected from the socket unless in a relatively clean
state and would lock the system up.

Using the write up I have verified that the system will work on Metal
BBS.  METAL.CONFIG below

This METAL.CONFIG file is well commented to help you figure out what
the
commands are for.  A command is ACTIVE if it begins in column #1. A
command
is NOT ACTIVE if there is 1 or more leading spaces.
