Hi all -ããI have a login matrix script that I've written in JavaScript, where I useãconsole.inkey() to get a keypress from the user with an input timeout. I'mãusing a timeout of 60000ms (so, it should time out after 60 seconds). It worksãfine with a fast internet connection, but I've noticed that if I log into myãBBS from a computer with a fairly slow connection (i.e., satellite internetãconnection with a fairly slow upload rate), it times out immediately. Is thereãa workaround for this?ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion BBS: digdist.bbsindex.comã

Keep in mind this is ripped from ispy/tracker1's code ofãthe phoenix modded s3 shell script.ããvar c = console.inkey();ãif (c == "") {ã sleep(100);ã}else{ãDetermine key pressed, etc etc etc.ããHope that helped man.ããesc(montereybbs/demonic/mimic)ãã---ã þ Synchronet þ :: montereybbs.com ::ã
