   Sure, or at least similar, some of the time. There are a lot of ways to view   
   messages from a Synchronet BBS: terminal protocols (e.g. Telnet, SSH, RLogin,   
   Raw TCP) obviously, using different clients with different terminal emulation   
   capabilities. Then there's NNTP, HTTP, Gopher, and IMAP Internet protocols.   
   And then there's the traditional BBS message networking protocols (i.e.   
   FidoNet, QWKnet). You can only really expect a sixel image to be   
   supported/displayable in a vast minority of those situations. More likely,   
   you'd store the bitmap image data in a traditional image format (say, PNG) and   
   then convert to Sixel and send in that format only when appropriate. At other   
   times (e.g. HTTP), you might just send the raw image data "as is" since you   
   can expect the client (e.g. web browser) will be capable of displaying it.   
      
    > Are login screens the only place sixel images can be used?   
      
   No, in theory you can send a sixel image any time. But you shouldn't unless   
   you know the terminal is capable of displaying it.
