    Can any other telnet application display RIP and true Full Screen
    80x24 ANSI?

    Can you show me a board that actually uses RIP? I don't know of any
    sysop that actually does RIP customization anymore (and if there is,
    I'd like to meet them).

    RIP is dead-it has been for many, many years.

    RIP was a good idea that was poorly implemented by its developer, Telegrafix. We all use ANSI these days...in fact, in the last decade or so, I've not called a BBS that even uses RIP.

    Hello,

    I might of tried it once back in the 90's, can't remember where, but Spitfire supports RIP. That would neat to try again.

    Thanks,
    Philip

    Maximus supports RIP...so does most BBS software I've used and seen (Telegard, AdeptXBBS, Spitfire, RA, et al.) but rarely have seen anyone use them. I've found RIP to be very slow over telnet and quite

    I think last time I tried it was on Spitfire via dialup, many moons ago.

    I like Ansi, don't have a lot of it on my board, but have written sync utils for ansi/ascii/html bulletins.

    Have a great day.

    Hello Philip.

    Hey, I remember those, actually I'm playing around with Synchronet
    again on an alternative port so I may have to come and grab again.
    :)

    Hello,

    Great, there are still here. Hopefully getting some updates on EchoLog, adding .html, and a new one for most used doors or something.

    Take care,
    Philip
