  • Detecting syncterm

    From MeaTLoTioN@1337:1/101 to All on Mon Dec 7 21:09:51 2020
    Hey all,

    Does anyone know how to reliably detect the terminal someone uses to connect
    to the bbs? specifically I wanna detect whether syncterm is used.

    I run Mystic, I know that it can be done in Synchronet, just wanna know if anyone knows how in Mystic, or if the way in Synchronet can be used for
    Mystic too

    Thanks in advance =)

    There is.... the BBS sends an escape sequence and SyncTerm responds back with a

























































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































































    version report. You could comb the Syncronet code...

    I believe the relevant bit is here: https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/blob/master/exec/load/cterm_lib.js

    Thanks! I have figured out what ansi escape sequence I need to send and what output I get to determine whether it's syncterm or not, however I don't know how to programatically get and compare the output.
