    the part you are missing here is that both ends are listen ports, you need to create a connection with something between the two endpoints to transfer data

    this could be achieved with socat with something like

    socat TCP4:<fs-uae host>:25232 TCP:<tcpser host>:25232

    tcpser will successfully process the call depending on the software you are using you may need to add a proxy number to tcpser cli with -n

    if you are on localhost just adjust the fs-uae port to something else

    Agree with this, why use TCPSER? That is being used outside of the Amiga emulation. Keep all of the work (file running) inside the Amiga, and it will make for a much easier setup. A few responses back Vorlon and Myself noted Amiberry which is a dupe of WinUAE is the easier way to go, with the bsdsocket enabled he recommended Telser device, I recommend TelnetD, both will do the same thing, I have had no issues at all with TelnetD or Amiberry. In fact when finally moving my Amiga BBS' over to Debian Trixie Amiberry made it extremely simple..

    yes, there is no reason to do this except the op asked why it wasn't working with fs-uae and that hadn't been explained. even by the wonderous</s> gemini

    amiberry is the overall better option on linux if you are looking for an all purpose winuae style solution.

    personally i use fs-uae for gaming emulation as i cant go past the custom viewport functionality in fs-uae if i can't be bothered walking over to the a500. i use a real a500 with a null modem cable to tcpser on retronas for bbs when i have the inkling.

    according to eab the fs-uae author is working version 4 atm btw
