 ac> Hi squids.  Does anyone know anything about 'TSX-BBS' ?  Both the
 ac> MSGID and REPLY are invalid in the message below...

 ac>   | {at}MSGID: 1:345/34 0730009437a
 ac>   | {at}REPLY: 3,345/12

    Interesting usage. The serial number is obviously hex, so it's nothing
simple like printing it as decimal accidentally. I don't see FTS-9 saying
the serial is 12 digits long. :-)

    The reply, well....

    Looks like some of the parsing routines are seriously broken.

 ac>   | -+- TSX-BBS (Multi-line 32-bit BBS)

    It also doesn't create ^aPATH.

    TSX-BBS may be something to do with the TSX multitasker, which is
really also an OS (386+ protected mode). I would run it but it doesn't like
CGA/EGA. :-(
