I seriously wonder why those Blackbox cartridges even exist in the Ultimate firmwares... its not like they are useful for anything, they just take valuable logic space :)

Hu? How would you "start it from VICE"? I don't see how that can be done. BTW, another big advantage would be that tcpser doesnt get confused by VICE connecting/disconnecting...

Unfortunately it does not work in VICE - but i cant really tell if the problem is in VICE or tcpser.... a test program is needed so we can rule...

OK, here is a full log - started tcpser - started vice - in vice load+started the bbs program i am toying with. the bbs incorrectly sees DCD active, so...

Whats so baffling is... there is no way the program can exit like this. every exit() call (as far as i can see) is preceded by some message, which we...
