 CB>> correct, but i'm wondering if there's something thats stopping that going through. that was why i suggested try it in

 Ni> Yeah, I should try that. It might just work.

just a thought :D

 CB>> as an aside. have you tried something like pcboard or any of the other bbs software systems, just to see if it's a

 Ni> I haven't, but I'm not really interested whether other BBS programs will work. I just thought it would be fun to get my old

i realise that, i was more talking about as an experiment as to whether they correctly identify ansi etc. if they don't then MAYBE you found an undocumented feature :D if they do, then maybe it's an RA quirk?

the other thing you can try (assuming you have installed "dosutils" into sbbs) is try running the ansi.com driver in your batch file. 

another thing would maybe spin up a DOS vm somewhere and remote telnet to that in a similar way that irc/mrc works?
