Maybe we could move this to it's own thread in the BBS club?  The Michtron 3 topic is getting somewhat convoluted. :)

 

Since Michtron 3.0 is the only available Multi-user BBS using the DC-Port …

Only thing I can't grasp is the device has 3 x RJ-12 PCB mounted connectors and there is another cable directly soldered to the
PCB.  ( Found it on the docs.dev-docs.org link at the bottom there is a sort of manual)

 

Right. One dedicated cable goes directly to the ST's serial port.

 

The others have the jacks that plug directly into the DC-Port. The docs emphasize *not* plugging phone lines directly into it.

 

Then you plug your RS-232 devices into the connectors at the end of those lines. Modems, WiModem232's, etc.

 

You can see the cables in the pictures I posted. HTH's.

Correct.

 

As I recall the connection back to the serial port was used to trigger an interrupt so that the driver code didn’t need to poll the UARTS on the dc-port. Also MBBS 3.0 has the driver integrated and does not (and might be in conflict) with the auto folder driver. MBBS embedded the driver because of the needs and optimizations or the task scheduled in the kernel of the BBS

Umm...Windows10 here is reporting malware/virus on "dcport.images.zip".

Bizarre, it’s a straight download from DeadMike’s site

My AVG virus scanner didn’t give a warning on my Win10 machine, I can check later when I’m back home

The interrupts are sent to the internal RS232 ring, and then the software looks at the UART to see what needs handling.
