This is my setup for RBBS as it now stands. I am not using fossil as they
really served no purpose for me on standard ports & I couldn't get all
doors to work with fossil drivers. I have several doors on line now and am
participating in the RelayNet (RIME). "NOTE" indicates changes from DVRBBS.

NOTE:
I have changed Disk Cache programs since putting together DVRBBS.ZIP and
have enjoyed and even faster CACHE than ADCACHE, although ADCACHE is an
excellent disk caching program and highly reliable.
CONFIG.SYS
DEVICE=C:\QEMM\QEMM386.SYS RAM X=D800-DFFF
files=30
BUFFERS=15
stacks=0,0
lastdrive=n
shell=c:\command.com /p /e:1024
device=c:\msdos\gateway2.sys -D -1
device=c:\msdos\gateway2.sys -D -2
NOTE: Two Changes since DVRBBS. I also use a lantastic network with the
BBS but it is not always on line. The X parameter is so I can load
the NETBIOS software in that area of memory. I am using Everex
Ethernet Adapters configured for IRQ15 D800 on the AT (Church Chatters
main computer and IRQ3 C000 on the XT where I do my compiling and
other maintenance type work. I am just firing up LANtastic after
not using it for several months since building our new machine.
After running into the usual DV/SHARE /SERVER conflict problems it is
up and running again and seems pretty reliable and stable.
The second change in config.sys is the addition of the new line
for shelling. DOS default for shell (I'm using 3.30) is 256. After
getting some reports from a few sysops who were running into dooring
to protocol problems I started to door to duplicate their problems.
I ran into some of the same problems and when loading RBBS got the
message "out of environment". I added this line and all started working
fine.

NOTE: Using TAME241.ZIP we have added tame to our start.bat in place of
DVKPOLL.SHR. These are not for the purpose of "taming" RBBS but
for bringing DSZ protocols under wraps to help keep them from
hogging the ports and the CPU.

NOTE: Three changes were made in the DVP files. 1. I started using TAME
instead of DVKPOLL.SHR as in tame's documentation I noticed there
was a special setting for the use with ZCOM. Since many have been
having problems on multinode systems with simultaneous DSZ transfers
I thought I'd give this one a try. So far I have no problems to re-
port though I'm not saying the problem is necessarily resolved by
these new settings. 2. By changing the Virtualize Text/Graphics settings
to "Y" I have had no problems with doors bleeding through the windows.
3. Ran into problems with the network while protection level was set at
1 so switched it back to 0.
