So I've been playing around with Gopher and discovered the telnet option within Gophernicus and got it working.  It's pretty nice, allows me to pick a default terminal program to load and when I click on the hyperlink it auto loads the terminal program and telnets the BBS I selected.  The only thing I couldn't figure out was how to get gopher to send ANSI strings during Mystic BBS auto detection and as a result it defaults to ASCII.  I didn't see anything in the manual of Gopernicus really discussing this at all.  SO I set Mystic from AUTO detect to ANSI bbs and it works just fine enough.

Can anyone think of a reason I'd want it set to auto detect and not to ANSI BBS?  I "get" there might be a user try to dial in with an ASCII preference, however The Underground is not really set up for that.  Any other reasons I would need to leave it on Auto detect ormigoodtogoezz?
