Log Message:
Log more meaningful error/warning messages and terminate the handle_call() loop immediately upon socket receive error (e.g. 54, ECONNRESET).

Does this error look like SOCKET RECV ERROR 54? I'm getting this on the current revision, and for the layman, can I build this using MSVS2013 (Express)? I got the release build to compile, but when I move sexpots.exe over to my XP VM it says it's not a valid Win32 application.

Shit, think I figured it out, 2013 requires .net 4.5 which XP does not run (Thank you MS), guess I'll see if I can get it to compile on 2010, was throwing errors at me, not sure why, will try again later. :)

Perhaps you're building for x64 instead of Win32?

Great, now I gotta figure this bit out. Yeah my Win7 is x64, the only build options are Release or Debug, then Win32 as the platform. Not even sure where I'd verify that it's not trying to build in x64 mode.

Will try the update you made then figure out what's goin on.

Make sure you choose v120_xp for the toolset (v120 won't run on XP). Also we've changed the /arch setting to /arch:IA32 since by default vs2013 assumes SSE support (and the MS runtimes don't probe the CPU for capabilities). Otherwuse you will get a crash right off the bat on older systems.

Log Message:
The great Copyright year update and (mostly) removal of 2018:
Most of the copyright years in the source code were misleading (the date of most recent publish was actually later) and all were unnecessary. I've been removing copyright years piecemeal, for a long time, but I decided it was time to just perform a bulk search and (mostly) replace. In some cases, I left
old copyright years on files that either are not used (and soon to be removed) or obsolete and unlikely to ever be touched again (e.g. Win9x FOSSIL VXD). Some of the runtime binaries still contain copyright years and those were updated to 2018.

Apparently com_setup() (which just calls tcsetattr()) will cause an attached modem (with a caller) to disconnect the caller. So you can't do this with a live modem. Leave the hack in for Nelgin's null modem cable setup, but you can't (apparently) support both 8N1 and 7E1 "callers" with a real modem (not surprisingly, for multiple reasons).

im guessing that it's the &W he has at the end of the init string. some modems (including mine for some reason) won't send an OK when they get that.

as you can see in a previous message, mine is a lot longer than his but works fine. I think his EAGAIN could be a resource conflict in some form of buffer maybe. ie sending data too fast (not that it should matter).

not knowing his setup i couldnt answer that, but i would put money on it being on a cheap usb/serial adapter :D

i think it's because some people throw settings that cant be stored with that method in the ram. i wouldn't even use a long init string. keep it simple.
