    Works fine (although some character in your last name got mangled here -- perhaps due to my tosser/BBS software not handling special characters correctly).

    Happy New Year!

    Your software does not even handle the non ASCII characters in your own name correctly...

    Yes, unfortunately that's an issue with Mystic at present...
    I have notified James about it, though.

    How is it not handling it? Mystic's tosser does not change any data when it moves from JAM outbound or when importing.

    I think the problem is that the messages do not contain a CHRS kludge, so that a message reader might assume ASCII (as per FSC-0054.004?) instead of CP437, which could cause special characters (such as umlaut characters) to be mangled on viewing.

    The missing CHRS kludge is indeed the problem.

    See FTS-5003.

    Thank you, and thanks to all who replied. Still trying to get the hang of it. Next, I'll have to figure out where to post to get help regarding my problems to connect to any BBS with two different modems and two different phone lines (one POTS, the other VOIP). The remote hosts always close the connection
    right at the login screen.
