I think that's different to what I'm talking about, the \x1 is a smiley
face (and I'm seeing that too) but \x1A right at the end of the messages
are a right arrow.

Ok, perhaps I should add it to be consistent?

Actually, that was something else I was wondering about. Do all
host->subcriber messages have the host as their fromsys, or does it
retain the fromsys of the system that actually posted the message?

Also, I was wondering about mark's networkb being incompatible with
binkd. I know you said marks version was special, but was wondering once
I've got this to a point we're happy with it, perhaps there could be a
hub for talisman bbses that runs wwiv, kind of like what I'm doing with
rushnet. Then Mark wouldn't need to worry about anything, as wwiv
networkb would connect to him, and binkd would connect to the latest
networkb which works.. (did I explain that properly lol)

Oh, one other thing I'm unsure about. In the case of multiple WWIVnet
setups, currently all of them use 20000:20000/? as the fake ftn node,
which seems to mean if a system is part of multiple WWIVnet style
networks they have to have different node numbers to differentiate?

For example, if I was @101 on rushnet and @101 on wwivnet, binkd would
receive s101.net to the incoming, and my software would somehow need to
determine which network the packet is for - although I suppose it doesn't
really matter, as subtypes would be different, and in WWIV email is one
base, and on sending the user choses which network to go out on. I guess
that will have to be a talisman limitation (email goes into seperate
email areas in each net conference)
