Gentlemen:
Use Hyperterminal (Windows XP) or if your running Windows VISTA
download "Syncterm" its free, and is one nice piece of software. It
even emulates native commodore Petscii. Or u could call with CBMTerm
or CGTerm, each a very small download.

There are people using other operating systems. Like BeOS, OS/2, AmigaOS,
or... What was the one I use? The one with the penguin? ;-)

My program has no errors in duplicating input/output using 1 of the
above
mentioned terms. Windows Telnet client seems to make tcpser double
echo
on the users side. Try again!!

Nah, must be a setting. I'm currently too lazy to figure out. As the man
page of telnet might though mention it, but the beer level is already too
high to understand... ;-)

Anyway, as I'm not the only who seems to have that problem, it might be a
problem on the server side. You might though tell the client not to echo
what you type. But then you might have to tell it all clients.

Andreas:
My apologies for forgetting about a non win32 OS. Such as LInux, Mac
OSX, BeOS etc.

No worries. :-)

i use windows to write the BBS and have never tried an alternative, so
im not sure what
terminal programs are out there. I know CGTerm works on Mac OSX so
maybe it also
supports the Linux OS. Most raw telnet clients will double echo, and
this is on most
commodore telnet bbs's...

There must also be a way to disable echo in the client. I wanted to play
around with the -litecho option, but it appears your box is down at this
time. It neither works without any option and time-outs now.

Andreas:
Yeah the BBS was down most of the night, and early morning due to a
power outtage.
:( seems i finally get some calls, and the stinking power goes out.
Might have to invest
in one of those UPS systems... altho our power was out for over
10hours, i dont think
a UPS would save me.. try again, its up and running now, oh! and your
account has been
validated.


It'd have to be a heck of a big UPS.
I got an old 280va Tripplite, that I replaced the battery in about 5 years
ago.
When the power went out the other night, I shutdown my computer as fast as I
could, only leaving the printer, speakers, external DVD on (shouldn't draw
much when not printing or spinning). I may have left the external drive on,
but I think it sleeps when the computer is off.

Within 30 minutes, the UPS started dropping/coming back up rapidly. I
watched as my stuff when on and off several times a second. I couldn't turn
the printer off - it wouldn't stay on long enough to turn off - without
hitting the power strip button.

The APC UPS300 in the bedroom was a bad idea. It beeps loudly 4 times every
20 seconds, and I was trying to sleep. It was ONLY holding up a DSL modem
and router, and within a couple of hours it started beeping rapidly to let
me know it was dying!

Gotta switch those two UPSes, as the Tripplite doesn't beep annoyingly! They
couldn't given an off switch for the beeping (besides the power-off
switch!)?!?!
