Anybody else running this configuration? I'm having some trouble with
reliability. I've configured it according to the Synchronet wiki and
it .. kind of works.

When selecting it from the external programs menu it fails to run
about four out of five times. When it does run there is no colour at
all.

I also have DoorMUD set up on this system and it works perfectly. Any
advice appreciated.

Edit: Lord 4.07 under Synchronet 3.17b

I don't have any experience with LORD and Synchro, but I'm fairly sure
that LORD does its own ANSI detection at startup. Running in mono
would mean that it did not get a reply from its ANSI detection
request.

Thanks for this. So, I guess that would mean that Synchro isn't
passing something thru correctly?

For anybody else that runs across this post in a search, the
instability issue was actually a hardware thing. Who'd have thought a
PC I picked up off the side of the road might have intermittent
issues?

The colour thing is seriously weird tho. The ANSI art in the menus
works, but I get no colour in any other text.

There's actually a patch for lord that takes it to 4.08, it's titled
"Patch for Lord 4.07 for OS/2, dosemu, and most all other emulated
environments" - maybe it's not broken after all? I don't have a link.
