 TJM> Yeah, but FD /TERM never displayed it when I called my own

ahhh! now that's different... that's the terminal in FD, not FD itself ;)

 TJM> board or someone else that has/had FD before 2.3x, now it
 TJM> does when I call myself or anyone with 2.3x it shows it.
 TJM> Bummer. :(

is there a problem with it? i don't understand?

 TJM> Even tried differnt terminal apps and same result.

of course not... everything will display the sequence unless it is
specifically coded to recognise it... at that point, it can either display
it as normal or it can act upon it and perform an IEMSI login... its just
plain text just like any other ASCII text sent over the connection...

i must be missing something
