Question...

This is nothing new, just wondering if it's a bug or just something in Windows
that we have to deal with...

On 32-bit Windows, you can log on locally to SBBS from the GUI by selecting
BBS, then Login. Works great, been using it for years.

On 64-bit Windows, this doesn't work. Every time I try to do it, it ignores it.

Doesn't matter what flavor of Windows (10 or 11) but it just never works. I
created an icon shortcut on the desktop to do a "telnet localhost" and that is
a good work around.

So just wondering if it's a setting I'm missing, or is 64-bit Windows just that
way and that's just an annoyance that I'll have to deal with?
