   I am a little leary to blame "old software" when the software itself has no    
   issue interpreting the tap of the enter key as "one" return... CR or LF or    
   whatever.   It seems more like a case of syncterm, etc., sending an extra    
   character when in telnet mode that older software -- i.e. most BBS software    
   that isn't Synchronet or Mystic -- doesn't know what to do with.   
      
   That might be semantics but I it is odd that using an older terminal program   
   over a telnet connection (with something like VMODEM) doesn't cause this,    
   which makes me suspect it is the modern BBS terminal programs that have    
   changed something.  I am sure the answer is "cause telnet protocol" but since   
   we are using these terminal programs to telnet into BBSes and not old VAX    
   or mainframe machines, I have to wonder who thought that was necessary.
