The logs show absolutely nothing. Where a supposed log entry is supposed to
be shown, none is provided. Something else i've noticed, is that HPT (on the
Linux side of things) doesn't toss every packet. Here's my tossing/scanning
script:

--snip---

#!/bin/bash
export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dummy
dosbox -noconsole -c "mount c /" -c "c:" -c "cd
\\home\\imp\\imp\\" -c
"imp-mail toss" -c "set
FIDOCONFIG=c:\\home\\imp\\hpt\\config\\config" -c
"hpt toss" -c "exit"
dosbox -noconsole -c "mount c /" -c "c:" -c "cd
\\home\\imp\\imp\\" -c
"imp-mail scan" -c "set
FIDOCONFIG=c:\\home\\imp\\hpt\\config\\config" -c
"hpt pack scan" -c "exit"
/home/imp/imp/pktdate -c /home/imp/hpt/pkt-out/*.pkt
rm /home/imp/hpt/flags/hpt.lock
cd /home/imp/hpt
./hpt toss
./hpt pack scan
/usr/bin/cp /home/imp/imp/data/boards.dos /home/imp/imp/data/boards.dat
dosbox.old -noconsole -c "mount c /" -c "c:" -c
"path=c:\\home\\imp\\imp" -c
"cd \\home\\imp\\imp\\" -c "imp-mail purge" -c "exit"
/usr/bin/cp /home/imp/imp/data/boards.lin /home/imp/imp/data/boards.dat
--snip---

"dosbox" is a special DOSBox build with LFN capabilities (how I am able to
toss packets in DOS). It allows for lowercase filenames.
"dosbox.old" is vanilla DOSBox. The "-noconsole" flag
is just that, it runs things from the console, without having to be in a GUI.
The "boards.lin" file is the message bases file for use under Linux. The
"boards.dos" is the message bases file for use with DOS. I have
to copy it to
"boards.dat" so it can properly be used with IMP-MAIL and HPT (DOS) to
"purge" the packets after they've been tossed. And
"boards.lin" is then
copied to "boards.dat" afterwards, to return things to Linux. It may seem
like a complicated way of doing things, but it works just fine, so far.


Thanks,
