I'm using v2024.03.01 of dosbox-x-sdl2 on a M2 MacBook Air running Sonoma 14.5.

I wasn't using AT+NET1 before to initialize, but tried just now and still get the linenoise & it's still slower than dosbox or dosbox-staging.

Here's an example of the linenoise (with AT+NET1):

It's not constant, but it's enough to be annoying.  I just had to hit enter to refresh the screen and it went away.

I seem to remember using a script or something to auto log me into the boards, there's a spot for a password in the dialing directory but I can't recall how to get that to send.  I should probably RTFM but it's 10:42pm and I'm tired.

If we could get past the slower connection & linenoise I'd be willing to try.
I had to type that imgbb URL like a caveman into this Telix window in Dosbox-staging!  ;)
