N/p, thanks for the tip nonetheless!

That is *very* interesting.  Since moving away from Vmodem / OS/2, putting
the DOS BBS behind any "proper" telnet server (like mystic's matrix menu)
*breaks* file transfers, so apparently those don't necessarily do the right
thing, either.  ;)

I have it set up to be accessible via two ports.  The primary allows folks
who have a terminal program capable of RAW mode to call in without the
double-CR while also being able to do things like download a QWK packet.
The other port is behind a telnet server/listener that allows folks whose
terminal program doesn't do RAW mode to call in and do just about
everything but transfer files.
