You could add -ST3 into        g0> Mystic so it shows MODEM as the connection type. You could use -IP or        g0> -HOST options on the command line to pass in caller ID information that        g0> will show up using the IP and HOST MCI codes and this will be tracked in        g0> the user records as well.              Thanks for the info!              I would guess at something like (for entering "bbs" username at the mgetty       login prompt, executing Mystic as "bbs" user, and logging it as user "bbs" as       well):              bbs bbs bbs /home/bbs/mystic -ST3 -IP127.0.0.1 -HOSTlocalhost               ...although untested here too. :)              Actually it is possible to test things like this by simulating being a modem       -- one can use socat to create a fake modem device in one window:              socat STDIO,icanon=0,min=1,time=0 PTY,link=/dev/fakemodem,rawer,hupcl,crtscts              ...and then run mgetty like:                     Best regards       Bj”rn              --- Mystic BBS v1.12 A47 2021/08/17 (Linux/64)        * Origin: Star Collision BBS, Uppsala, Sweden (2:201/137)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 90/1 103/705 105/81 120/340 123/131 124/5016 129/305       SEEN-BY: 153/757 154/10 201/0 137 203/0 124 220/70 221/0 1 6 242 360       SEEN-BY: 226/17 30 100 227/114 702 229/424 426 428 452 550 664 700       SEEN-BY: 229/981 1016 1017 230/0 240/5832 249/206 307 317 400 267/800       SEEN-BY: 280/464 5003 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 305/2 317/3 320/219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 335/364 340/1000 342/200 396/45 423/81 633/267 280       SEEN-BY: 633/281 410 412 414 416 509 640/1384 712/848 770/1 3 100       SEEN-BY: 770/340 772/210 220 230 2452/250 3634/24 4500/1       PATH: 201/137 0 203/0 280/464 221/1 6 229/664 770/1 633/280 229/426           |
