- This is my setup for RBBS as it now stands. I am not using fossil as they
- really served no purpose for me on standard ports & I couldn't get all
- doors to work with fossil drivers. I have several doors on line now and am
- participating in the RelayNet (RIME). "NOTE" indicates changes from DVRBBS.

- NOTE:
- I have changed Disk Cache programs since putting together DVRBBS.ZIP and
- have enjoyed and even faster CACHE than ADCACHE, although ADCACHE is an
- excellent disk caching program and highly reliable.

- CONFIG.SYS

- DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM X=D800-DFFF
- files=30
- BUFFERS=15
- stacks=0,0

-
- NOTE: Two Changes since DVRBBS. I also use a lantastic network with the
- BBS but it is not always on line. The X parameter is so I can load
- the NETBIOS software in that area of memory. I am using Everex
- Ethernet Adapters configured for IRQ15 D800 on the AT (Church Chatters
- main computer and IRQ3 C000 on the XT where I do my compiling and
- other maintenance type work. I am just firing up LANtastic after
- not using it for several months since building our new machine.
- After running into the usual DV/SHARE /SERVER conflict problems it is
- up and running again and seems pretty reliable and stable.
-
- The second change in config.sys is the addition of the new line
- for shelling. DOS default for shell (I'm using 3.30) is 256. After
- getting some reports from a few sysops who were running into dooring
- to protocol problems I started to door to duplicate their problems.
- I ran into some of the same problems and when loading RBBS got the
- message "out of environment". I added this line and all started working
- fine.

-
- NOTE: Using TAME241.ZIP we have added tame to our start.bat in place of
- DVKPOLL.SHR. These are not for the purpose of "taming" RBBS but
- for bringing DSZ protocols under wraps to help keep them from
- hogging the ports and the CPU.

- NOTE: Three changes were made in the DVP files. 1. I started using TAME
- instead of DVKPOLL.SHR as in tame's documentation I noticed there
- was a special setting for the use with ZCOM. Since many have been
- having problems on multinode systems with simultaneous DSZ transfers
- I thought I'd give this one a try. So far I have no problems to re-
- port though I'm not saying the problem is necessarily resolved by
- these new settings. 2. By changing the Virtualize Text/Graphics settings
- to "Y" I have had no problems with doors bleeding through the windows.
- 3. Ran into problems with the network while protection level was set at
- 1 so switched it back to 0.
