[nos-bbs] Help With JNOS on DOS

[Chris Maness]

I am trying help a friend get a very basic JNOS install going.  He is
running Windows XP (which I realize might be the problem).  JNOS does
not seem to be attaching to his TNC (in kiss mode).  The device tnc0
is not initiated after the attach command and we are getting all the
error messages to that effect.

Here is the contents of the autoexec.nos file:

I run JNOS in Linux and have no problems. I also realize that he would
have no loopback with this file, but I just want to verify we can get
his JNOS talking to his TNC.

His TNC is set in 1200 baud mode, so we also tried changing the 9600
to 1200 in the attach command with no luck.

Thanks,
