The software modem that is in use on the BBS is from a library called "spandsp" which is super cool but does not have 2400bps error correction. Also it's going over VoIP so there are bound to be errors. VERY EXPERIMENTAL! Sorry about the garbled text but that's probably the best you'll get. For a clean experience you have to just go over the Internet.

connections at 300 baud; or just dial-in connections in general for that matter. I get a ton of garbled characters at entry screens (and occasionally I get d/c'd from the board because I end up throwing some weird Unicode at you guys, sorry!) Art displays fine at 2400, but I still get a ton of line noise.
