      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A46       MSGID: 1:129/215 dceb303a       REPLY: 1:261/1304 5EEE0DDF       TZUTC: -0400        MH> Mystic can do a double telnet back to Mystic. That is the only working        MH> example that I'm aware of at the moment. Looking to see if there is a              I believe the way Mystic works is that its behavior varies depending on the       connection circumstances. For example:              If you are connected via a telnet client and you do an outbound telnet, then       Mystic knows that your telnet client can handle the telnet negotiation, so it       connects but passes any telnet negotiations directly to your client and any       response from the client directly to the outbound telnet server.              But if you are connected via SSH or RLOGIN and you do an outbound telnet       connection, then Mystic knows that it must translate from telnet to SSH/RLOGIN       and it will handle all of the telnet negotiations so they never reach your       client (because your client won't be able to handle telnet stuff).              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/06/11 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 | Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 103/705 120/340 601 123/131 129/215 154/10       SEEN-BY: 154/30 40 50 700 203/0 221/0 6 226/30 227/114 229/101 424       SEEN-BY: 229/426 452 664 1014 240/1120 2100 5138 5832 5853 249/206       SEEN-BY: 249/317 400 280/464 5003 292/8125 317/3 320/219 322/757 342/200       SEEN-BY: 396/45 633/280 2452/250 2454/119 3634/12       PATH: 129/215 154/10 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
