To.......... All

Hey

I've been working on adding native WWIVnet support to Talisman, I have a
very basic rough version working I think.

It's connected to rushnet, and I'm hosting a sub TALISMA at 100 (WWIV is
doing the hosting) If anyone on rushnet could subscribe to that and send
messages that would be great !

I have a couple of questions, All the messages from WWIV have a 0x1A
character at the end - I'm not sure of the purpose of this is? I had a
feeling it's the prefix of a footer (is that correct? - and if so, i
should probably prepend my origin line with a 0x1A)

Another question, on WWIV, the Sender name has #1 @100 prepended to it.
Is this just for looks? Or should I be doing it to? I had assumed fromsys
and fromuser in the msg packet would be used to identify the user?

Andrew

PS. I would have written this on rushnet, but I have no idea what the
SUBTYPEs are lol
