So happy I bought a 9600 baud modem....
... to download this HUGE 50 MB patch. I should be finished in a few hours.
I just hope I can log on before my corpse disappears because I died right before I logged off last night. btw... can I get a SoW for my naked corpse run?
Woah! Wait?!?!? What year is it again?

It's funny to me how these sounds could fit right into a psychological horror game/film now. They're so unnerving.Edited by Judas Helviaryn on November 14, 2018 2:15AM4 -

Whoa, flashbacks..........
Still, when I played Legend Of The Red Dragon on a BBS back in the late 80s, 300bps was all I needed.
I did notice the difference when I upgraded to a 14.4kbps modem in the 90s. Edited by MrGarlic on November 14, 2018 5:20AM'Sharp Arrows'Mr.GarlicHidden by darkness, a shadow in the night,A sped arrow dissecting the gloom,Finding it's target, such delight.3 -

✭✭✭You've got the right equipment. It matches the 9600 baud modem on the server side.2 -
Zardayne✭✭✭✭✭I was so excited when I ditched my US robotics modem 33.6 or 56k for my new Diamond Supra 56k external one..until I realized it sucked just as bad lol!
I remember playing Ultima online and getting knocked offline and my buddy would call me on the phone and ask if I got disconnected since my character kept running and ended up with 3 orcs, an ettin, and a troll chasing me across the world until I logged out. Most of the time I would log back in only to be dead and standing there as a ghost lol. Good times!Edited by Zardayne on November 14, 2018 5:05AM1 -

OMG. Those sounds bring me nothing but joy. My dad and I ran BBSes back when they were the thing. It reminds me of the early days of online gaming, MUDs, Ultima Online. Yay!

✭✭✭✭✭Downloading 50MB @ 9600 baud would take like 12 hours. That's insanity.
I suggest upgrading to one of these:
Make sure you get a serial card with a 16550 UART though.5 -
