Re: InternetModem Updated

["Terry Olsen" <tolsen64@hotmail.com>]

This program is a modem emulator. And yes, I had the BBS running through 
this before I got the ethernet modem.  It is possible to dial out to a 
usenet server (using FV code) and exchange messages, but this is rather slow 
depending on the size and number of messages to be exchanged.  I had written 
a windows program to do this and then "stage" the messages on the server for 
FV to grab at intervals. It worked fine, but after I upgraded my server 
hardware (900Mhz 32bit to 3Ghz 64bit) it no longer worked. I could still 
exchange messages with usenet on the server, but FV couldn't download the 
messages from the server (high rate of character loss).  I even tried 
putting a delay between each character sent from the server (to emulate a 
9600 baud connection) but still couldn't get it to work properly. Since 
there is virtually zero interest in a single-user BBS, I decided not to mess 
with it any more and shut it off.

Now I would like to know who would be interested in a free chat service that 
would be telnettable from any computer running a terminal program (Including 
Proterm). But I'll address that in a new thread.
