While the AT&Z, ATDSn support for stored numbers should work fine for the same use cases, it's limited to 20 numbers (that could be easily increased) and may be less obvious to users who it works. The [alias] aliases does not use AT commands to query/store the number aliases, just .ini file edits.Re-read .ini file when ATZ command is received. This allows applying dynamic changes to the .ini file without re-running SVDM.Address some memory-leaks when reading or making changes to .ini file.Fix ATIn command results.

    Nice :)

    If I read it correctly, then this enables the "phone book" style dialing that I was hoping to see? ie: atdt12345 (or atds...) could result in a connection to "my.bbs.com:23"? Which makes svdm functionally consistent with tcpser (which is what I was basing my request off of...)

    Very useful :)

    On parallel topic, (I dont think you do much with DOS(?),) but I think if (a some smart cookie) compiled on DOS, it would be an updated version of RLFOSSIL - although I dont know if it is worth the effort..? Memory is a challenge on DOS and RLFOSSIL takes up too much, so not sure if the effort would result in anything more effecient? I saw somebody doing updates to mTCP so was just curious if this was even a possibility...

    Love your work...

    Yeah. It's very similar to the [modem] Save# keys (that are dialed with ATDS#), but more aligned with what you were asking for (and not limited to 20).

    I haven't run bare DOS in a long long time, so yeah, not really interested in that. I don't think much of this project would really be reusable on anything but Windows NT-based OSes. Little pieces, like the telnet stuff, I suppose, sure, but that's not a large portion.

    Love your work...

    Will you release an updated build zip file? I noticed that svdm01.zip is still the only one there.

    I did go looking to see if it was in a build artifact (for sbbs-windows) but it seems only scfg is in that artifact :(

    Initialize telnet options when passed -h option (withouth -l)

    As requested by Fzf (FQBBS):

    When SVDM uses an inherited socket (the -h option) no telnet negotiations
    are done. As a result, the connection is assumed to be in ASCII mode and
    server side CR characters are translated to CR/LF. Since most programs are
    already transmitting a CR/LF this gets translated to CR/LF/LF with the
    expected results. When using an external socket in telnet mode, could SVDM
    set the telnet.local_option and telnet.remote_option variables as so:

    A. Assume both remote and local have already suppressed GA and set the two
    options accordingly

    B. Set the remote telnet echo option to off and set the local telnet echo
    to follow the ServerEcho option from the .INI file

    C. Set both remote and local BINARY_TX options to follow the ServerBinary
    option from the .INI file

    These are 2 knobs created for Fzf (FQBBS) to "to reduce the CPU usage". Their default values are currently 0, so you'll need to set these to non-zero values to play with each of them and see their inpact on CPU utilization and responsiveness. I'd suggest starting with low values (e.g. 1) and experimeting from there.

    As reported by Fzf (FQBBS):

    It addresses the local configuration but unfortunately it still doesn't set remote options. The remote is usually going to be in binary mode but SVDM has the remote option set to ASCII by default. A CR from the remote then gets held up until a second byte is sent.

    Also suggested by Fzf, when server_binary mode is not configured, then advertise
    and request binary mode is/be disabled, explicitly.
