      TID: Mystic BBS 1.12 A46       MSGID: 1:129/215 f27abf04       REPLY: 1:261/1304 5EF4E48D       TZUTC: -0400        MH> That being the case it sounds like when nested telnet sessions go to        MH> non-Mystic systems, something isn't getting passed to the client for        MH> negotiation. Or maybe it is trying to negotiate with the original        MH> (non-nested) telnet and not the client.               If I had to guess whatever layer is being used (SIO, etc) doesn't do telnet       negotations at all or doesn't know when to request binary.              I need to set up a test with other systems so I can see if sending some telnet       commands as a client can resolve it. I can't remember when the last time was       that I tried to test anything like this with a non-Mystic system (out of my       own "laziness" of not setting up another BBS software to test with) so I need       to do that to see what I can figure out.              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A46 2020/06/11 (Windows/64)        * Origin: Sector 7 | Mystic WHQ (1:129/215)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 18/200 90/1 120/340 601 123/131 226/30 227/114 229/101       SEEN-BY: 229/424 426 452 664 1014 240/5832 249/206 317 400 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 633/280       PATH: 129/215 154/10 280/464 229/101 426           |
