   There is a wiki being worked on as we speak (wiki.mysticbbs.com).   
      
   And asking questions is exactly what echos like MYSTIC and this one are for.   
   So there's no reason for you to feel like a pest whatsoever. Just don't get so   
   frustrated that you start taking it out on the developer and/or his software.   
   We have very limited amounts of programmers that actually take the time to do   
   something for our community these days. All insulting them or their software   
   will do is drive them away.

   I don't think there's a difference in the door execution whether you're logged   
   on via telnet or in local mode. Just do it the way it's documented and have a   
   friend test it for you via telnet.

   That's fine. Just make sure you have the non-standard port open on your router   
   and you can do whatever you like with it. Run it on port 2323 for a bit, and   
   when it's up to your own standards, move it over to port 23.

   This is like the 2nd or 3rd time you've said you were going to abandon the   
   idea. You obviously want to change software as you keep going back to it.   
   People are here to help you. And you are not being a pest - up until you start   
   spreading rumors and/or talking down the software or developer of said   
   software because something didn't just start working perfectly for you the   
   first time - which makes the #1 person (the developer) with the best knowledge   
   of the software not want to help you.   
      
   Regards,
