- Thought this might come in handy for those of you setting up dosbox bbs's in
- os2. Quick runs fine under the dos box.

- Try this setup, i have it working here on two lines (14400 & 2400) and it
- seems to be working well so far. Right now I'm typing this to you in a dos
- windows running fm, node 1 (14400) is spitting the nodelist to another node
- and node 2 has someone playing tw2002 on it. Anyway here's what i did.
-
- In config.sys
- MAXWAIT=1
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\COM.SYS (1,3F8,4) (2,2F8,3)
- DEVICE=C:\OS2\MDOS\VCOM.SYS (1,3F8,4) (2,2F8,3)
- DEVICE=c:\os2\com16550.sys COM1 3F8 4
- DEVICE=c:\os2\com16550.sys COM2 2F8 3
-
- In dos settings for the object that runs the batch file that starts frodo
-
- com hold on
- background on
- idle seconds 2
- idle sensitivity 50
- hwrom to ram on
- hwtimer on
-
- the second object for node 2 has these differences
- idle seconds 60
- idle sensitivity 100
-
- In your bacth files use the mode command that came with x00v149a then load
- x00v149a as a tsr.
-
- Note: you'll get an error message about the buffers not being supported,
- ignore it they ARE used.
-
- This setup so far has netted me receive rates of 1550-1600cps on high speed
- transfers with a user on node 2 and me in an fm window. Testing transmit
- speeds now, soI I'm still in the process of tuning but this should get you
- going.
-
- Hope it helps...
-
- ... Mario :-)
