   I don't know what OS or version you're using but it seems to be working from   
   here I just tested it in Windows A48 and Linux.  The simple test I did was   
   logged in and tried to download the BBS list and on both OSes it says "Local   
   mode:" and asked me to save.   
      
   Are you sure you're logging in with -L?  Make sure you're not setting the value   
   of Local anywhere in any MPL anywhere, otherwise that will change it for the   
   entire connection.   
      
   The ServerType that is used internally by Mystic for terminal services does   
   have a Local mode value.  They should be (as of A48 current releases):   
      
   0=telnet,1=rlogin,2=ssh,3=modem,4=local,5=other   
      
   5 is left open broadly so (for example) someone could use that as a packet   
   radio type if they wanted to and configure server type 5 to show up as "RADIO"   
   in the callers list (or whatever else they want).
