Can't add much to Dave's excellent coverage except to suggest you might
need to optimise your DV setup a bit for comms.  You may want to run Ticks
1:1 or 2:2 or thereabouts, though a 486dx33 should have an easy time
running 2 BBSs.

If the 16550s don't fix it all right up, you might want to try the DESQVIEW
echo; there used to be plenty of helpful people in there, many of them
sysops.  Issues like where you load your FOSSIL and some QEMM settings may
be relevant.
