• Lunatix 4.3a is running at 300 baud or slower! help!

    From Rixter@21:1/242 to all on Tue Oct 22 14:56:26 2024
    You can get this door in the lunat43a.zip file. I can get the door to run on the BBS but it runs at 300 baud for some reason. Very slow. It can take 5 minutes to get to the start menu. I can play it fine on BBSLINK and other BBS's. I have a friend that got it to work through DOSBOX-X just beautifully. I am curious to understand why it runs so slow on my BBS I am running synchronet 3.19b. I am running synchronet bbs on a 64 bit windows 10 computer operating with NTVDMX64. I am also curious to understand dosbox-x more and can I run it with NTVDMX64 operating at the same time? If anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate it. I have access to the door game through BBSLINK but I prefer to run my own for the challenge of setting it up and watching it run. It is a fun game. I enjoyed the challenged of ThunderCat V3.30 and the door file solution. I would love to find out why this one runs so slow on my BBS. I tried different door drop file types, playing the the cts/rts , fossil no fossil options and locked rates, to no effect. I must be missing an obvious combination. I have never had a door asking me to set up cts/rts and the 8n1 7e1 options before and the other settings for port numbers were new to me as well. Thanks guys let me know. Have a good day.

    In case you're still having problems with this door, check out this page:

    https://shadowscope.com/2012/12/05/lunatix-netfoss-and-sbbs/

    This blog post explains how to use netfoss to run the door at full speed. It's from 2012 but all the info is still relevant. I've been using the same method on my Sync board for a few years now, as do other sysops.

    Hope it helps.
