Hello Nick,

Actually, no, while I didn`t reply to your message, it wasn`t one
of them I`m referring to. I`ve received a few, far less agreeable
netmails. Sorry for any implication, It was an oversight on my part.
NB> well as pointing out that every feature you don`t like can be disabled.

This is one of the reasons I like Mystic. I have disabled services
like telnet to be replaced by more familiar Linux (UNIX?) telnetd and
telnetd-ssl. I`ve gone back and forth with the internal binkp and tosser/packer
-- my uplink runs Argus and sometimes Mystic`s binkp and Argus` just
don`t play well; nothing critical, and surely needs refining, somewhere, I
haven`t mentioned it as I can`t really pin down the issue. I don`t have
any Windows systems to install Argus on, or the spare time to really
debug this very minor, happens once in a blue moon issue. I just kill
the mis process and let systemd restart it; and all is well.
NB> I`d love to see a python clone of Mystic, though!
The source is very much a mess, it is only the basic BBS with
internode chat and message reading implemented, no mailer, tosser, or listeners
for Telnet or SSH (I let systemd do all that heaving lifting), it only
works on Linux (Python reasons). And, I`ve archived and deleted my dev
and test containers in favor of the web bbs implementation. I probably
should have taken some screen capture video of it in action. I was
particularly pleased with the template support for the full screen message index
reader to support various terminal sizes - namely 132x36 - something that
is still a WIP in Mystic. And I guess, calling it a `clone` is a
stretch - it certainly looks that way to a user, but for the sysop, all
the configurations and menus are text files; yaml formatted, specifically.
If you want I can post an example of, say, my main menu that looks
exactly like my Mystic`s BBS main menu. (I do it now, but SyncTerm, at
least on macOS, doesn`t support cut/paste to and from the terminal.)
And, thanks Nick, for the interest in the Python bits.
Cheers
Scott
