I switched to Mystic a couple months ago? Sometime around then. I've wanted to
switch for a long time, just recently figured out how to get it going.

And nah, it's not a ton of work. 

The connect.mps script g00r00 provides in a default install just needs a bit
of tweaking to replace certain characters in passwords that might be sent that
will screw up account creation on RLogin, another tweak in that script that
limits the password character length sent through RLogin to 25 or less, since
Mystic can only handle that length, and I created a really simple and quick
MPY script at the ANSI detect string that will disconnect a user if the
password given is different than what the account needs so it doesn't
automatically kick them to the Mystic username/password login on a bad
password attempt.


Oh, and some people will connect via RLogin without a password, so in order to
keep things smooth I have the connect script also create a default password
for them and also use that password afterwards.
