Re: GBBS Question

["Joel Ostroski" <junkmail@youlazybum.com>]

Well, in the configuration is lists the IIgs modem port as an option to
select.  But that is AFTER I have to select and interface.  It is listes as
a modem type, which is kind of odd, and thats where the confusion comes in.
I would assume if I got GBBS configured to think there is a modem on the
modem port, I should see text come across the screen on my PC when it tries
to initialize it.  I am not sure though, maybe I have to simulate the MR
status on the modem too.  But if I could get this solved, I will be able to
deal with that later.

If the author could reply, that would be great.  But all you others, please
reply as well, I need all the info I can get.
