I'm sorry to hear that sio is not working out for you. I have been running
it since the end of last week with basically no problem. I have had several
system crashes like you mention.
These don't both me too much but I can see they would really screw up a
BBS. There was an sio_025.zip available as well, but presumably v031 fixes
something that is broken in v025. I never ran v025, just v011 and v010.

I've had this one at least half a dozen times in the last month. Wish
I knew how to get rid of it, but I'm not yet running a significant
workload, so it doesn't foul anthing up. YET!

I would recommend installing the service pak. At least one of the bugs
fixed involves the com.sys/vcom.sys and Fossil X00 interaction.

I noticed an immediate jump in throughput by 50% when I went to sio_v031
from sio_v011. But I suspect that might be in part due to finally having
some docs so I configure it correctly.
