   No it's not the only way to go. But why not just do it so it supports it? I   
   mean, just supporting high ascii would be kind of the cheesy hack just to get   
   it to work "for now".. wouldn't it?

   In this case, it came through just fine over here. My quote of it even shows it   
   right. So if it comes back to you jumbled, take a look at my seen-by's.

   It's possible. Granted, I've looked at the BBBS config before, and I didn't   
   know it was possible cramming that much shit into minimal amounts of config   
   screens. Then I checked MBSE and was wow'd yet again. I don't think you could   
   pay me to run either one of those. :)
