   Except transfers work fine with no nested telnet using SIO.  Going directly to   
   it works perfect.

   JC> system (out of my own "laziness" of not setting up another BBS software

   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.
