# When an ESCAPE is received by PROCOMM PLUS, the program waits a maximum
# of two seconds for another character to continue the escape sequence.
# If another character does not arrive in this time, we no longer treat
# the incoming characters as part of a potential escape sequence but
# simply as ordinary received characters. For some packet-switching
# networks with extreme delays the two second wait is not long enough.
#
# This patch changes the two second wait to four seconds (the value
# 72 is clock ticks where each second is 18 ticks [4 * 18 = 72]). If
# a different timeout is desired, replace the value 72 with any value
# between 0 and 255 (255 = 14 seconds). If 14 seconds isn't a
# sufficient wait period, replace the default of 72 with 255 and change
# the bottom line. The value on the bottom line is the number of
# 14-second increments you desire.
#
# For example, specifying a value of 3 on the bottom line and 255 on
# the line above it will result in a wait period of 56 seconds (3 *
# 14-seconds plus 14 seconds). A value of 10 on the bottom line and
# 255 on the line above it will result in a wait period of 154 seconds
# (10 * 14) + 14. Values of 255 on the last two lines will result in
# a wait period of 3584 seconds (about an hour).

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
