Possible latency because of voip or was this normal back then?.

I've recently started looking into bbses after not having a good idea of what they were and am wondering if this behaviour is normal so this is my first post here. First, if I connect at 1200 bps or higher there is significant input delay depending on the speed. I just connected to compute's gazette bbs at 300 bps there is some input delay but not enough to be jarring to use, second is sometimes when the data is streaming in it will stop for a few seconds then continue, how long in between depends on the baud speed I connected at. The third is when I connected to compute's gazette bbs at 300 bps sometimes the text would stream in, it would switch to garbled characters before switching back to text, but it's not graphics, it's supposed to be text. Was any of this behaviour normal back then or am I just using voip?. submitted by /u/Ok_Bear_1980 [link] [comments]
