    Hi,

    i'm setting up a bbs using Mystic BBS software but i've encountered a problem that i can't solve: is there a way to configure it for text
    only
    terminals? I'm using a Sinclair Spectrum to connect but i always got characters that are not interpreted by the (real simple) terminal program. My focus is a bbs for computers such as Commodore 64, MSX,
    etc.
    etc. and they don't have ansi-bbs...

    Should be able to. Just use all straight .asc files in the TEXT folder,
    have
    the BBS set to detect the codepage and emulation.

    Tried, but i still get ansi characters:

    As you can see at the very start of each line i got unexpected characters.
    How i can avoid this behaviour?

    Thanks,

    Can someone provide an EXAMPLE of say the prelogin.mnu configured as an ASCII prelogin TEXT menu. I do have mystic setup anormat BBSd running but I just want
    a plain old retro ascii BBS and this package just aint cutting it.

    I found 2 way to do it ,
    EveryThing Files With *HDR.ASC
    Your Can use Only Text

    or remove the Ansi Choice
    But the BBS ASK at the Beginning ....
