    Hi Daniel.

    06 Dec 25 09:38:02, I wrote to you:

    looks like a firewall /port forward issue:

    rooniPro15-touchbar-wlan:~ danielp$ telnet rbb.homeip.net 3141
    Trying 37.219.0.32...
    telnet: connect to address 37.219.0.32: Connection refused
    telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

    Correct. The port 3141 (tcp/udp) is now closed from the internet. It was open during the tests.

    I still wonder why the ivm/3141 connection works inside my lan from one os/2 computer to another. Even with SIO2K, which I installed to another one. Maybe some other ports needed than 3141...

    Ok, it is open again. Feel free to test. :)

    When I try dialing your system via VMODEM, I get an almost
    immediate "NO CARRIER" response. When I try Daniel, VMODEM
    indicates it is negotiating with the remote, then eventually logs a
    time out and "NO CARRIER" ...

    So it's not only my vmodem that is not working over the internet. :)

    Well, I believe it's time to let vmodem rest in pieces. It sure is not
    needed anymore these days.

    Can you try to connect to meteo.leopedone.it port 2023 or in Vmodem at meteo.leopedone.it ?

    IMHO I think that vmodem is working fine!

    Let me know.
