Not using mystic, but by locking out all non-ANSI connections, all of the
bots are stopped.  I simply have my ascii logon screen display "CP437
connection required" then the macro to disconnect.  I don't have any ASCII
support any way; I never created a non-ansi menu system.  A little elite of
me, but most users even on older systems have ANSI terms.
