I am a little leary to blame "old software" when the software itself has no 
issue interpreting the tap of the enter key as "one" return... CR or LF or 
whatever.   It seems more like a case of syncterm, etc., sending an extra 
character when in telnet mode that older software -- i.e. most BBS software 
that isn't Synchronet or Mystic -- doesn't know what to do with.

That might be semantics but I it is odd that using an older terminal program
over a telnet connection (with something like VMODEM) doesn't cause this, 
which makes me suspect it is the modern BBS terminal programs that have 
changed something.  I am sure the answer is "cause telnet protocol" but since
we are using these terminal programs to telnet into BBSes and not old VAX 
or mainframe machines, I have to wonder who thought that was necessary.
