I'm following this guide to make dosbox work with networking:
https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Slip_configuration_on_linux_host
but I change baud rate values from 9600 to 115200 for speed.
I launch a vanilla DOSBOX 0.74 in linux with some extra drives mounted in it and no other TSR's running but ETHERSL packet driver.
I then run a test by sending 22,250 bytes out on the virtual network with ping for linux and sadly dosbox appears frozen because when I type in any set of characters while ping runs, nothing happens. But when I stop ping, all the characters I typed decide to appear about 6 seconds later and DOSBOX decides to be responsive again.
Has anyone encountered such behaviour from DOSBOX? and is there a way to minimize the bad effects (like maybe when I type in dosbox, the characters can appear slowly while ping runs instead of having to wait until ping stops entirely?)
