   Yes, doing a double telnet from Mystic back to Mystic and then doing a   
   transfer works.  That is the only example of the double telnet that works to   
   my knowledge for transfers.   
      
   It apparently has something to do with the telnet negotiation process.  Maybe   
   other BBS platforms are sending the negotiation to just one of the telnet   
   processes.  Not sure, but it appears to have something to do with auto   
   negotiation.  Just trying to figure out if there is a way around this somehow.
