I've been running a BBS using my Wimodem232 v1 for a while now. (thebrewery.servebeer.com:6400)
Some telnet clients done seem to get along with the Wimodem232.
It manifests itself by missing characters.
For instance:
_______________________________________________________________________

Notice how the main menu hasn't completely rendered out and there are missing characters midway near the "goodbye"?
I am leaning to the fault being at the Wimodem - it seems to buffer data and then barf it out all at once - the menu does not stream smoothly.
When the user enters "?" to display the menu there is a pause, and then the menu blasts over the telnet connection at super high speed.
Could it be that characters may be getting lost somewhere along the line?
Is there a fix for that?
Thanks
Henry
