Virtual setting for com ports
Hello.

I'd like to know how the $_com1 = "virtual" setting actually does work? What it does and what doesn't do? More details please. :)
Not too much to say in fact. It just supresses the normal dosemu output (whatever the DOS program writes to the screen, goes no-where), and redirects your COM1 to the terminal. So the stdout of dosemu is what the program sends to COM1, and whatever goes to stdin, the program can read from COM1. That way your telnet session talk to COM1.
There is a vmodem.txt there somewhere, that describes this in more details.

see src/doc/README/vmodem in the source tarball. I don't know why but somehow it never made it in SGML form into README.txt.
