   Dkeep.com kept track of the users from different BBS's by appending a   
   character after the foreign bbs    
   user's account name. So if user "example" from gaianet.net entered the SoC   
   game, their in-game username would be "example_K" with the "_K" denoting the   
   user was from gaianet.net.

   yep it was the DMA server on vitcom tcp/ip that this was done. in the
