Subj: Weird problem

Hello Michael.

I use SQ386P.  SQUISHP runs too slow on my system.

Later,

Subj: Y2K

Replying to a message from Mario Battacchi 2:332/1 to Tutti,

About Y2K, On Wed Oct 27 1999

MB> I have my BBS running on OS/2 Warp Connect (3.0).

MB> Do I need any fix for Y2K?

I would go at least fp36 or fp39 that should be OK.

Hope this helps.  Keep us posted.

We are a fine board trying to make it better.

Why not try Terminate ? Termails pretty good.

Subj: Xenia and Terminate points

Hi,

Did anyone have problems of synchronism while transferring packets between a
Xenia system under OS/2 with a point system with Terminate under Win95?
In my screen I can see:

? 23 Oct 20:45:52 XEN  Byte 40320: Interruption detected...
- 23 Oct 20:45:52 XEN  Resending from 25984 (Sync 1)
? 23 Oct 20:45:58 XEN  Byte 51584: Interruption detected...
- 23 Oct 20:45:58 XEN  Resending from 25984 (Sync 2)

An so on... The file is being resended from almost the same offset and
transfer may never end if you don't interrupt it.

In the point side they tell me they see the error msg "Auto RTS on while
writing", but in Terminate settings we try every combination (activated,
desactivated, changing trigger...). And the flow control is by hardware.

Any ideas? Thanks! Mercedes.
