I looked at the commitlog and noticed a telnet.

You found "telnet" somewhere in Synchronet's commit log? Shocking.

Does this mean there will be a
built in telnet program in Synchronet?

Depending on what you mean by that, there already is such a thing:

I think the telnet.c and telnet.h in Synchronet probably has the code to allow Synchronet to accept telnet connections from users. I don't think it means Synchronet will have some kind of "built-in telnet program".

Why doesn’t DM just port syncterm and syncdraw into Synchronet? That would be pretty kewlness.

I'm not sure how you envision that working.. You want to be able to run SyncTerm and SyncDraw from within the Synchronet control panel? I'm not sure that would really make sense. I think they work nicely as separate applications. Specifically, with SyncTerm, I rarely run SyncTerm on my BBS machine. Usually I use SyncTerm on my main desktop PC at home, which is a separate machine than the one my BBS runs on.

Also, as echicken has pointed out, Synchronet does come with a JavaScript telnet script: telgate.js. It's used mainly for connecting to another BBS while logged into the BBS. I think that's about the most useful use case, so I don't think there's a need to have SyncTerm integrated into Synchronet itself.

Some authors have actually integrated these functions into their bbs program.

I think Synchronet is going the other direction. I seem to remember Digital Man once saying he'd like to move more functionality out of Synchronet's C/C++ code into JavaScript scripts.

I'm seeing quite a few blank ones from you here as well, seems to have started in the past 2 - 3 days.

I'm also seeing people replying to you, and quoting a message of yours that I'm pretty sure I haven't seen here. So some people aren't getting blanks from you, but others are. (Maybe.)

Not sure what the cause might be, or if it's with you, the hub, or the build I'm running.

You seem to have gotten that message that I wrote. Yesterday I updated to the latest build (August 22nd), and in my VERT QWK hub configuration, I disabled the "Include Kludge Lines" option. I'm not sure if that option or the August 22nd build has something to do with it.

Interesting. I'm not seeing the blank messages. They all look fine. I wonder what's going on.

No, you can only quote the message body with SlyEdit, not the header information.

No, you can only quote the message body with SlyEdit, not the header information.

In the last two days I have seen/recieved blank messages from at least three people, you, echicken and the millionaire. I was going to report it but with nothing to quote or reply back with seems pointless. Something is definately amiss. I don't recall seeing this a week or two ago.

DM thinks it has to do with interaction between UTF-8 support and different SBBS versions. In short: I need to update from CVS. :)

You shouldn't have to and I don't think you have to as I found and fixed some issues with UTF-8 messages over QWK today.
