   Ha! I don't know. It's been a few decades since I was a SysOp or a user. I   
   wrongly assumed it was a standard.

   Yep, got it.

   I thought that was the telnet service. I'm on the same page now :)

   I worded this poorly. I was wondering if I need to [should] enable any   
   particular type of connection method, terminal and/or web, to accommodate   
   users of today. Are most folks connecting certain ways more than others? I   
   guess I could get around to enabling all methods, but I'm still curious how   
   most folks use BBS nowadays.   
      
   Thanks again!
