Seems to top out at 19200 baud for me, anything higher and I start running into issues with zmodem file uploads/downloads ect.

Also there is one persistent issue that only seems to affect connections to BBSes running Mystic BBS. It is really strange but mystic's indexed file and message readers just do not work with this setup. Everything else is fine though... very strange. For some reason with my setup, attempting to browse files/message areas with the up and down keys just does not work. I've tried several different terminal clients and the result is the same... up/down sometimes work, sometimes do nothing and sometimes does an escape instead kicking you out of the indexed reader/file browser...

 AK> Thank you for sharing that great writeup for configuring the UDS-10 for
 AK> BBS telnet use!  There's definitely enough to the process to make
 AK> documentation like this really valuable.

Thanks and I hope this is useful for others in future. Also worth pointing out that you can leave out tcpser if you are happy dialing ip addresses. This setup is described here:

I haven't checked if this setup has the same issue with Mystic BBS's indexed reader/file browser but I will check this out & play with a few other settings to see if there is a way around this.

.... You and me against the world?  Great!  When do we attack?!?
