The BBS is running TG/2, using SIO2k for telnet, but the performance
via the network is... less than satisfactory.
I'm assuming it's something in the modem configuration I either don't remember or skimmed over in the docs, but at time the latency feels exceedingly high and/or slower than expected, given everything is
locked at 57600.
The major performance thing is loading big ANSI screens like menus or doors; you can end up looking non-responsive for 10-15 seconds and
then getting a big dump all at once which is certainly confusing to
people since it looks broken.
But: everything is locked, set to the same speed, and the modem configurations are the correct irq/dma and like, it all works, just
slower than I'm expecting.
There something I should look at that anyone remembers, or am I just misremembering the performance due to like, 30 years of haze?
If possible, use SIO 1.60d instead of SIO2K. I noticed a performance increase
when I switched back to SIO 1.60d. I'm using a DOS BBS on my ArcaOS system,
and it works very smoothly. Stop by telnet://bbs.bnbbbs.net:2023 to see it in

That fixed it, thanks. Assumed I had either done something wrong or it
was the fact it's a VM making it perform badly but I'll take an easy solution of 'use something else' ;)
So, google has failed me on this, and I figure ya'll might have some
idea what obvious thing I missed.

Are you using a cracked version? I spoke to Ray and he told
me I should hand out the crack I have for it as he can no
issues on my os2 box. sadly this version only supports 4
ports only :( /or am i missing something? :)/ Regards, -- dp

Mine's showing it's a 4 port version as well, and it's also the only
one I've ever seen, so that may just be the limit at this point?

yeah, but i think it's ok. in the past 4 years i only had two days
when it was not enough. :)

Yep, I have cracked versions of both 1.6d and 2k, the ones with the screenshot of Ray saying it's fine to use.
as the others mentioned 1.60d is the way. i had similar issues on my os2 bo
sadly this version only supports 4 ports only :(

I havw the crack/keymaker and the 16 port version over on my board.
