Connections to ANSI BBS systems are unreliable even in Terminal

[WildKeccak]

Other systems, like QPuTTY and PuTTY are not workarounds, and are at least as bad.

A system log

If PuTTY is also affected then clearly this is not a problem with Terminal. But you will have to be specific about what the problem exactly is.

[WildKeccak]

It stops responding to keystrokes on ANSI BBS systems. I wish I could be more specific. Konsole is maybe better, but you then need to make sure it's 80 characters wide and 24 or 25 characters high. I was able to have a bit more success with Konsole.

[WildKeccak]

There is never a disconnection message, just suddenly it stops.

What does "a bit more success" in Konsole mean?

How are you connected to these servers (i.e. what protocol)? Does beta4 behave any differently? Are any of them public?

[WildKeccak]

I connect using Telnet and SSH. I don't notice any reliability differences between the two.

A workaround is to connect to my OpenBSD mosh server, and then have the OpenBSD box connect to the telnet or SSH server. Sometimes you have to relax the algorithms and ciphers.

I should check beta4!

Konsole may or may not perform better than terminal. It's more beautiful -- it might be the halo effect talking.

These are all registration required sites.

I guess the most likely possibility is that the TCP connection just stalled.

[WildKeccak]

I've been checking beta4, no sign of this problem anywhere.

After about 20 minutes of trying, I don't see the problem with ssh on beta4

[pulkomandy]

a tcpdump capture of a stalled session might be useful?

[WildKeccak]

Knowing that I get my connection through a TP-Link UE300 adapter connected to a MicroTik RouterBoard that I configured according to

​https://www.reddit.com/r/mikrotik/comments/b8wloq/how_do_i_connect_my_map_2nd_to_the_hotel_wifi_and/?rdt=46513

might be helpful too . . .

[WildKeccak]

I'll probably try tcpdump tomorrow.

[WildKeccak]

Works on a fresh install of hrev704 or hrev57707 as far as I can tell.

Can't reproduce

Closing as not reproducible for now then. Let us know if you find a way to reproduce the problem reliably.
