Reply To: Modem gaming over the internet
Hi Void, check out https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Connectivity for a small guide on how to do this (skip ahead to the Serial/Modem section). Note that both players need to change your dosbox.conf to enable a modem, or from the dosbox prompt type ‘serial1 modem’ or similar. Use port forwarding on the host machine’s router to forward a port (I recommend 5000, supposedly the dosbox default, though in my experience it tries to use 23) and make sure it’s forwarded to the host machine. The client player can then ‘dial’ the host by using the hosts’ public IP address as the phone number!
