      MSGID: 1:261/1304 5EEB654B       PID: WWIV BBS v. 424        TID: WWIVTOSS v. 1.52               ml> do you mean like telnetting from one system to another and then       ml> downloading and expecting it to cross both telnet hops?       ml>        ml> if yes, i would first be looking at the connection between the two       ml> servers and seeing if it is a binary capable stream or not... if it is       ml> not, is there an attempt to switch it to being so? whatever the client       ml> passes to the first server might should also be passed to the second       ml> server so channel switches like this can take place...              Basically, yes. Where one program accepts the telnet and then performs       another telnet to another application.               The wildcard here is the second destination is running Raymond Gwinn's SIO       drivers (telnet emulation for serial ports). Transfers work fine over telnet       if you go directly to the nodes running SIO. It is only the "double telnet"       situation where the downloads don't work.              Figure it has something to do with telnet control codes/binary mode or       something. The xfers will start but get lots of errors and eventually       terminate.               - Mark              --- WWIVToss v.1.52         * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 114/705 120/340 601 123/131 226/30 227/114       SEEN-BY: 227/702 229/101 424 426 452 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317       SEEN-BY: 249/400 298/25 305/3 317/3 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 261/1304 1 266/512 261/38 712/848 770/1 317/3 229/426           |
