    Totally OT from what you and g00r00 were discussing, but I spoke with
    Rick Parrish and he mentioned being able to pass inbound IP addresses
    with fTelnet. I did a terrible job relaying info to g00r00, but I noticed

    I did write the code to handle telnet send-location, but I haven't gotten around to installing fTelnet to test it with yet. I'll try to get that done sometime soon.

    Hey Rob,

    Totally OT from what you and g00r00 were discussing, but I spoke with Rick Parrish and he mentioned being able to pass inbound IP addresses with fTelnet. I did a terrible job relaying info to g00r00, but I noticed Synchronet has the ability to make use of this IP info. When I connect to my Mystic board through fTelnet it always appears to be my wss server, 127.0.0.1. Any chance you can help shed light on how this works?

    Synchronet accepts the "LOCATION" and "LOCATION NUMBER" Telnet options from the
    client. fTelnet sends the client's IP address to the server using these options.
