What's with your attitude? George has been nothing but helpful to those
that ask intelligent questions and now you rag on him for telling the
truth? So what if you don't like his answer. Too fucking bad. Go spank
off somewhere ass-wipe. I'm sick of hearing you with your attitude on the
list. You ask stupid questions and then get pissed when we tell you that
it was stupid, but decide to help anyway!!
You went on to say something about porting to Win 3.x instead of 95 and
babbled some brain-fucked nonsense about memory leaks in 3.x causing the
MUD to crash quickly. 95 has more mem leaks in it than 3.x ever wanted to
have. Next time you decide to go hose out some "facts", pop your pointy
little head out of your ass and look it up in a book before opening your
mouth and spouting off.
Then you continued babbling and spitting out garbage by saying that 8
connections would be max because hardware isn't tweaked just right. I
think you need to look up some info before your go trying to think about
things because right now you are basing your shitty little ideas on
nothingness and when someone tells you the right of things you lose it
and completely forget how to spell "boy".
Some things that you should know.
Bandwidth is __NOT__ how many connections your can have to a machine.
Bandwidth is how fast data can be pushing through a particular
connection. A 33.6 modem can move approx 30,000 bytes of data per second
over the line using a TCP/IP network. Yes, some data is lost because of
the header packets sucking up some of the bandwidth. This leaves you
APPROXIMATLY 30kb/sec in useful data.
I think that the question that you really wanted to ask was "How many
sockets can I have oen over a modem?". The answer is "OS and Software
dependant." I _think_ that the max number of sockets openable on a Linux
machine is 64,000+. The max number of sockets in stock Circle is 200(?).
This means that you can have up to 200 sockets opened to your MUD at any
one time. If you are doing this over a T-1 line, then it will be fast. If
you are doing this over a modem, then it will be slow.
30,000 / 200 = 150 bytes per second.
150 - 40 (header packet) = 110
That's about 110 bytes per second per socket. That's around the same
speed as the first modem way back in 1968 or 1969.
So... A packed out MUD on shit-for-brains 33.6 modem would suck. Then
again, I do beleive that anything made by that little prick that calls
himself dmitri would suck so what's the point?
Sometimes I wish that I had the wit, satire and sarcasm that Daniel
Koepke has... That way I could have written the above message without
cussing and (probably) offending those of you who do not deserve to be
offended.

It has a light side, a dark side and it binds the universe together.
