• BBS Host software won't get passed CONNECTED on serial WiFi modem.

    Having an issue with my setup. I'm currently using an AMD K6-2 running Windows 98 and a serial WiFi modem. I can connect to other BBS servers just fine using Hyperterminal or Terminate. Problem is, I'm wanting to host a BBS using just the serial WiFi modem and I can get the modem to initialize, then when I connect to it it'll say RING and then CONNECTED 38400, but then just sits there. I've tried it with Wildcat, Mystic and Renegade and no luck. I'm using the Simple Serial WiFi Modem from Etsy, using the 8bit-Bruno firmware. Not sure what it can be, but I'm guessing it may have to do with the AT commands. submitted by /u/Djurkinthebox [link] [comments]
