   Good afternoon,   
   I recently switched a couple of my DOS BBS nodes from dosemu to dosbox-x, at   
   the request of the software maintainer.  For the most part, the BBS works the   
   same if not a little better.  Despite the connect speed being reduced from   
   115200 to 57600, one of my telnet callers has reported that games like OOII   
   areactually working fast enough that game play is no longer slugish.   
      
   However, I have run into an issue with BRE.  Normally, when BRE starts, the   
   first screen the caller sees (that gives them the version info) quickly clears   
   and they are presented with the BRE ansi welcome screen.   
      
   Now that I have moved over to dosbox-x, there is a very noticable pause   
   betweenthe version screen and the ANSI screen.  Maybe 20 or more seconds before   
   the   
   game continues.  Once this happens, the game seems to run and exit just fine.   
      
   Is anyone else using dosbox-x with BRE?  If so, did you have to do anything   
   special to get it running?   
      
   Some pertinent settings from each environment...   
      
   dosemu:   
   cpu = 80586   
   ems = 8192   
   video = vga   
   all other cpu/memory/video settings left to default   
      
   dosbox-x:   
   cpu core = auto   
   cpu type = auto   
   ems = true   
   machine ("video") = svga_s3   
   all other settings left to default   
      
   I am running dosbox-x on a debian linux bookworm machine.  I have tried   
   changing the CPU setting to '386' and '486' (via the pull down menu) but that   
   didn't seem to change the behavior (i.e. in dosbox-x).   
      
   Thanks,   
   Mike
