   Ok, I just went through every message from you to me and didn't see that.   
   Could you please tell me again?

   It is forcing me to create a new user each time I connect because the real   
   name is invalid or duplicate.  It doesn't say which.  I have multiple users   
   with the same handle and different real names...  That on it's own is   
   confusing.

   Yep, he's got it working so I can use that until I can manage this.  I would   
   love to work with you on this and will try to calm down my idiosynchracies   
   (sorry I couldn't remember how to spell that) so that I'm easier to deal   
   with.  He spent about 2 years to get his to the state that it's at.  Rob   
   McGee (x-bit) also has a game server.  His just asks for username and   
   location as well as mouse reporting and ansi on new user connection.  I was   
   hoping to get to that state.  Exodus also has one set up so that people can   
   access sbbs games from his Renegade. If that many people can use it, it   
   shouldn't be as difficult as I've experienced. Perhaps they all used a newer   
   version.  I just went to the synchronet website, which seemed the logical   
   place to get the latest version.  I did read the game server wiki (thanks to   
   Stringray for pointing me to that) and follow it's instructions before I had   
   my melt-down.
