We did?

Spectre uses EMSI quite successfuly - and I use it to my Portal of Power/Ezycom BBS as well. Both are EMSI/ZModem, not tried EMSI/Hydra.

One of the tricks with EMSI is whether the mailer is aware of telnet or not (or the fossil), since a "telnet" session needs to be handled correctly so that telnet IACs codes are not absorbed by the telnet session. (Only becomes an issue when transferring files.)

For that I have qico and ifcico running - qico does the EMSI/telnet and ifcico does the EMSI/TCP. Clrghouz only does EMSI/TCP as well.

If you wanted to have another go, we could debug it and figure out why it isnt working. It is unreliable though when using ZModem, since ZModem assumes and sync speed which is often not the case.
