How do you connect with ANSI AND RIP?
Connected with Telnet.  Ansi detected. - Detected RIP Version: 030001

Can you give a step by step instructions how to achive this using the
methods via variables and alternate display files, etc.

-> In light of the obsolete status of 16 bit centric BBS RIP I doubt this
-> thread will attract a great deal of attention.  However, as it may assist
-> someone in the future I will make a couple of observations.

-> The capacity to detect RIP exists in Wildcat! v5 to v7, but it is not
-> implemented by default in MAIN.WCC.

-> The code to display an alternate set of *.RIP or dispR.BBS files does not
-> currently exist at all in the relevant ANSI Side modules.

-> You can implement the ability to detect RIP and its associated Version

->   Connected with Telnet.  Ansi detected. - Detected RIP Version: 030001

-> As you will see above I am successfully detecting RIP Version 3.  I do not
-> have a working RIP v1 or v2 emulator so I cannot test backwards
-> compatibility.  However, my testing was based on the RIPv1 Specification so
-> it should work with v1 to v3.

-> Once you have detected RIP you can set a global session variable for the
-> user and then display an alternate set of RIP files.  I tested the concept
-> of HELLOR1-HELLOR9.BBS and it worked fine.
