Running OXE on MAC

[Turlupin]

Great news ! I will try this tips when i'll be back at home !

I succeeded in installing the phone application on Fusion.
My only issue is this pipe stuff.

I could not find any pipe proxy on OS X . Maybe I can try something with netcat...

But everything is working when I tail my output file.

Anyone would know how to create a pipe that you can write into and validate ?

Thx

I'm in the same situtation ... i didn't find a way to use the "console port". I only access to my virtual OXE via is Ip address configured under Vmware workstation.

May be is there a tips under linux/unix wich could work under MacOS ...

Well.. Mac OS is basde out of BSD...
I tried to create some inodes in /dev, with not success.

I wonder maybe if I can try with something like minicom ?

Will give it a shot.

what command you have do create pipe?

Code: Select all

mkfifo $HOME/pipe_1

and consult vmware pipe settings to point to that pipe.

it should work, with any terminal emulator like minicom (for mac i've used better telnet most of the time when OS 8 and 9 were in game).

Hi,

The pipe creation I was talking about in /dev worked, this is not the issue... The issue I am having is how to get to the localpipe with a simple telnet. I think I'll have to install the mac ports, install minicom, and redirect it to /dev/alcatel (which is the name of my pipe).

Yes, this is how you should go, either use a terminal program capable of working with fifo (special files in filesystem) or search for some virtual proxy app (it should be simple app to be written in 2-3 hours using script language like perl).

But i whould suggest to try "better telnet" for Mac (great app! with ftp server/client) or install any minicom-like program. Maybe there is some teraterm clone for mac?
