But       this is configurable:       https://wiki.synchro.net/config:sbbsexec.ini              However, it'd be better to configure your door game to use COM1. And FOSSIL       (int14h) is generally more performant that COM/UART I/O, if you care about       performance.       --         digital man (rob)              Rush quote #67:       He's noble enough to win the world, but weak enough to lose it ..
