It wasn't clear as to just being        MH> a "double telnet" related issue or something else.              There is no such thing as "creating a binary connection" via telnet.              Telnet options are negotiated after the connection. Binary mode is something       the server would request and the client would respond to.              One way to test Mystic specifically is if you use the outbound telnet to       connect to your own Mystic BBS again. The transfers still work even when you       connect through multiple telnet connections. I just tested that again in the       latest Windows build and the transfers were working fine with NetRunner       Zmodem.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/06/11 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 | Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/30 227/114 702       SEEN-BY: 229/101 424 426 452 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 317/3       SEEN-BY: 322/757 342/200 633/280       PATH: 129/215 154/10 280/464 229/101 426           |
