Yes, I saw that you logged in and Ive pulled your ansi.  Ill have a look and
see what I can recommend.  startup.mps is an mpl script that can be executed
as part of the initial user connection process (if it exists).  Many SysOps
use it for bot detection, etc while others use it as a pre-login/prelogin.  I
use a modified version of xqtrs startup.mps script available here and from
his board 'Another DROID BBS' @ android.zapto.org:9999.  I think the name of
his archive is XQ-STARTUP.ZIP. I have not released my rework of the script
but would have no problem sharing it if you ask.  You WILL however, need some
programming experience to make necessary modifications.  I am uncertain if
any release of Mystic contained examples of the startup.mps file or
even instructions for its use but I could be mistaken.  Dan Richter of The
Castle Rock BBS @ bbs.castlerock.com is an excellent resource for those type
things as well as the King of Mystic, Avon of Agency BBS @ agency.bbs.nz. All
of these folks can be found here in these echoes as well as netmail and are
always eager to assist.

Good luck and Happy BBS'ing!
