      MSGID: 1:261/1304 5EF68523       PID: WWIV BBS v. 424        TID: WWIVTOSS v. 1.52               JC> If I had to guess whatever layer is being used (SIO, etc) doesn't do       JC> telnet negotations at all or doesn't know when to request binary.              Except transfers work fine with no nested telnet using SIO. Going directly to       it works perfect.               JC> I need to set up a test with other systems so I can see if sending some       JC> telnet commands as a client can resolve it. I can't remember when the       JC> last time was that I tried to test anything like this with a non-Mystic       JC> system (out of my own "laziness" of not setting up another BBS software       JC> to test with) so I need to do that to see what I can figure out.              Now that the weekend is basically here, will try setting up TelnetDoor/Gamesrv       in front of Mystic and then try an xfer. Very interested to know the results       of that one, too.              Appreciate your help in understanding this and if there is a work-around.              - Mark              --- WWIVToss v.1.52         * Origin: http://www.weather-station.org * Bel Air, MD -USA (1:261/1304.0)       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: 261/1304 1 266/512 261/38 218/700 103/705 280/464 229/101       PATH: 229/426           |
