Actually, the carrier drop on 2.0 was a Vice issue if you were running in
Vice. Vice had no DCD detection or DTR detection, so what would happen is the
BBS would sit there until the caller idle timed out, my 2.0 board which runs
in Vice still does that as I use BBS Server and VSPE to get it connected
instead of TCPSER which contrary to popular belief does not do file transfers
well and I need file transfers for the NISSA Network. The latest Vice
incarnations handle DCD and DTR pretty well, as I have a few test systems
running at 38.4k and they detect and drop carrier properly. If I could find a
true virtual null modem cable that I can connect the pins myself I would be
able to disconnect pin 6 (DSR) and use the latest Vice and have carrier
protection.. Working on a Linux solution, as I got BBS Server running in
Linux for real com ports (or ttySx ports) but have yet to find a cable
solution..
