   Hello zdrmonster,   
      
    zp> I've been hearing about it, and I don't think SyncTERM supports it.   
      
   SyncTERM does support RIP graphics. I haven't tried it since I don't know of   
   any BBSs that are sporting RIP.

   Back in the 90's I used ripterm to log into RIPable BBSs, they had a cool look   
   about them. The door game LORD also supports RIP and looks good with RIP   
   support.   
      
   RIP was a commercial venture back then. If you wanted to go full RIP you could   
   register and get a RIP editor to create the screens.   
      
   Not much ever came of RIP, it was never widely supported but it was cool.
