      MSGID: 1:261/1304 5EECB567       PID: WWIV BBS v. 424        TID: WWIVTOSS v. 1.52        DW> To add to what Mark and Deon said... from experience, the Mystic matrix       DW> as a front-end for telneting to another board does not create a binary       DW> connection. You won't be able to do file transfers from the BBS that       DW> Mystic is transfering the connection to.       DW>        DW> I have not tried GameSrv.              I tried GameSrv (TelnetDoor) and had the same issue so it must not be creating       a binary connection, either. It wasn't clear as to just being a "double       telnet" related issue or something else.              It sounds like the way to get this working would be to have whatever sits in       front that accepts the 1st inbound telnet - have it initiate an outbound       binary telnet connection to the second host.              - Mark              --- WWIVToss v.1.52         * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 14/5 15/0 18/200 19/36 90/1 102/401 103/705       SEEN-BY: 106/201 114/201 116/18 120/302 331 340 601 123/131 140 124/5009       SEEN-BY: 128/2 129/102 125 160 165 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0 214/22       SEEN-BY: 218/0 1 109 401 501 700 720 802 810 820 221/0 222/2 226/30       SEEN-BY: 227/114 702 229/101 424 426 452 664 1014 230/150 152 240/1120       SEEN-BY: 240/2100 5138 5832 5853 249/206 317 400 250/1 261/1 38 100       SEEN-BY: 261/220 1304 1306 266/32 75 512 618 267/152 154 155 310 275/100       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1031 1056 1060 291/100 111 292/8125 317/3       SEEN-BY: 320/119 219 322/757 340/400 341/66 342/200 396/45 633/280       SEEN-BY: 640/1321 712/848 801/161 189 2320/105 2452/250 2454/119 3634/12       SEEN-BY: 5020/1042       PATH: 261/1304 1 266/512 261/38 218/700 103/705 280/464 240/5832       PATH: 229/426           |
