 Sp>Sh> You should have some messages posted so I know where to start.

 Sp> I used to, I blew up the hudson base so many times they kinda got lost.

 Sp>Sh> I wanted to look at SuperBBS which is an RA clone.

 Sp> Strictly speaking its a QuickBBS clone, but then RA is also.

 Sp>Sh> No full screen menus, no full screen reader.

 Sp> Boggle, ddi you end up with ASCII menus?  You can change menu types off
 Sp> the main menu. If'n I recall right, FANSI menus are the most complex
 Sp> ANSI wise, but they're more coloured ASCII than full screen block
 Sp> arty farty ANSI.  All the rest is there so long as ANSI is selected
 Sp> for term emulation.

When I logged in, I picked FANSI, but the system didn't detect it at
connection.  I'm using IcyTerm.

 Sp>Sh> Even the network connection is really slow.

 Sp> Yeah it kinda is. I believe its RLFOSSIL cause the speed issues, although
 Sp> Super won't behave if you tell it to do any more than 38.4k  So it may be
 Sp> the pair. Amongst other issues, I can't get any of the file transfer
 Sp> to work properly even locally. There's to much lag in the whole
 Sp> thing.  Even locally its like working with something at ~56k.

38.4k isn't too bad, but it seemed more like 9600...

 Sp> I stuck with Super because its what I always used, there might be better
 Sp> hardware emulation to get better performance out of it, but I don't have
 Sp> more physical hardware to throw at the problem. Over all, its going
 Sp> to look much like any other RA setup of a similar vintage, and work
 Sp> much the same way.

Ok, I'll try again.
