Hey DM,

 > 11/24 09:16:13 term 0040 * HAPROXY looking for version - failed [fffc01fffb17fffb1c]

These are Telnet IAC codes, which I guess is "often" received from the remote after a first connect? (Well for telnet anyway).

Might be worthwhile adding something around https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/blob/master/src/xpdev/multisock.c#L420, where if we receive ff, and a valid IAC command (https://users.cs.cf.ac.uk/Dave.Marshall/Internet/node141.html) (ie: greater than 240) and a 3rd char? (as the first 3 words received), that the error message display

"Looks like you are connecting directly to the [telnet] port - you cant do that with HAProxy enabled."

There might be something similarly appropriate for rlogin and web?

Not sure if that will help (the end user at least) diagnose some errors themselves...
