  • DOS ANSI Viewer with Baud Rate Emulator...

    From Shurato@21:2/148 to All on Fri Oct 31 03:27:00 2025
    I'd really like to display my scrolling ANSIs with a baud rate emulation. Is there a door, or at the very least a DOS program that can do this that I
    could run from doorway?

    EleBBS just blows through them... I've got an ansi viewing door that
    displays them at a decent rate, but it won't just show single ANSIs.

    I don't know about a DOS door, but there are telnet clients (such as SyncTerm) that have baud rate emulation. With SyncTerm, there's a hotkey where you can change the emulated baud rate (or turn it off).

    Yeah, Icyterm, which I use has that feature too, but netrunner doesn't. I think I found a door that will work and I can use netfoss to slow down the output.

    I was able to use a combination of pikem, to select a random ansi and copy it to a static file name and ansidisp to display that ansi through doorway. The latter doesn't support fossils. If I access the BBS with connectbot, doorway crashes the terminal and itself... Weird.
