* EleBBS Support List

Has anyone noticed an unusually large number of errors when using the
internal Zmodem to upload to the BBS (EleBBS 0.10rc1) running under OS/2
with SIO2K 2.03?  I was testing it yesterday.  EleBBS would not even allow
me to complete an upload using the internal Zmodem; it kept aborting with
TONS of errors.  The downloads work OK, but about 80% slower than the DOS
version of RemoteAccess (which is running on a VERY old and slow machine
BTW.)  Telnet connection between the 2 machines, both of which are on my
switched home 100MBps network was yielding 5-6000 cps with EleBBS, whereas
the DOS version of RA (running under OS/2 also with SIO2K 2.03) was yielding
downloads of 30-40k cps.  Uploads work under RA with minimal errors also.

 

I'm sure that people will suggest using external protocols, so my next
question is:  What do you recommend for OS/2 native external protocol
programs?  I have an OS/2 version of the old CEXYZ around here somewhere,
and probably Hydracom 1.0x also.  If I can, I'd like to avoid using DOS
external protocols, as I'm trying to get as much stuff switched to OS/2
native as possible.

 

Andrew
