500 is a bit of a stretch, iirc the ansi limit for thedraw is 100 lines,
which can be tight, if you have a header/greet block, an image, and a trailing 
font.. even as a single welcome screen...  Also, they tend to zip by on telnet 
boards in any case... and wasn't just refering to sync, I've seen a few stock 
mystic and ele setups as well...

And yeah, was me on the enter > 6 or so times...
