I ran a FD-RA board back in the 90's using OS/2 Warp. I decided to
resurrect the old software using Virtualbox with a Ubuntu host and
OS/2 4.5.2 as the guest. I have the virtual modem side of OS/2 working
fine but have not been able to get Virtualbox to pass telnet sessions
to the guest. Anyone else using this setup have any hints? The only
way I could get TCP/IP to work on OS/2 was to have Virtualbox set the
network adapter to bridged mode.

If it's in  Bridge Mode your OS/2 VM Should have it's own IP Address
independent of your Host.   Just make sure your telnetting to the
right IP.  Shouldn't need to pass anything.

Thanks. I found the issue a few minutes ago. The DHCP manager in the
guest was hung and not accepting the refresh from the router. I can
connect fine now via telnet but having some issues with the vmodem not
resetting after a call. I need to research further and come up with a
better modem init string.
