   Hello g00r00!   
      
   05 Apr 22 13:00, you wrote to me:

   My test system is running Manjaro Linux 64-bit, with Kernel 5.15.28-1-MANJARO   
   x86_64.   
      
   Let me run a test using the bbs listing as see if that is any different.

   Yes, logging in either is -L or running the mpl from a command prompt with the   
   './mystic -Uuser_Name -Ppassword -X'basicmpl test' format. Neither one will   
   show the local as being true. Also, the variable is not being changed anywhere   
   else in the code.   
      
    gr> The ServerType that is used internally by Mystic for terminal services   
    gr> does have a Local mode value.  They should be (as of A48 current   
    gr> releases):   
      
    gr> 0=telnet,1=rlogin,2=ssh,3=modem,4=local,5=other   
      
   Ooooo. Didn't know about the others on here. So, when it's a local connection   
   the servertype should also be showing as 4. Looks like I have some more   
   playing to do. :)   
      
   Thank you,
