  • DOS doors offline

    From Digital Man to All on Wednesday, March 12, 2014 03:43:54
    Vertrauen's Windows nodes (vert.synchro.net and bbs.synchro.net) have been moved (temporarily) to an x64 build of Windows 8.1 and thus DOS doors are currently disabled.

    I plan to be moving some Vertrauen nodes to a Win7-32 instance running in a VM shortly and for those nodes will support DOS doors (again), so hold tight.

    Sorry for the inconvenience,

    The DOS doors are back online, but you must connect to the Win7-32 nodes at the
    hostname: bbs.synchro.net

    vert.synchro.net continues to resolve to the IP for the Win8.1-64 nodes which do not support DOS programs.
