how would one check for what type of connection the user is using?

I want to present options based on whether they are telnet,ssh or rlogin
I did not see any variables related to connection type

Thanks,

I'm not sure this is a way as yet. I had a look but could only see refs in
the docs for menu commands that have switches for various outbound connection types called from within Mystic..

Asides how Mystic can display ANSI and ASCII menus based on auto detection
I'm not seeing anything that offers options (menus or otherwise) based on server type connection. Hmm

I was thinking/wondering maybe an mpl script could gather the info,and
perhaps generate a variable that could be read or build menus from within an mpl ???

The information your looking for is in CALLERS.DAT I believe, look under NewRecHistory below:

(* CALLERS.DAT holds information on the last ten callers to the BBS. This *)
(* file is always 10 records long with the most recent caller being the *)
(* 10th record. *)

RecLastOn = Record // CALLERS.DAT
DateTime : LongInt;
NewUser : Boolean;
PeerIP : String[15];
PeerHost : String[50];
Node : Byte;
CallNum : LongInt;
Handle : String[30];
City : String[25];
Address : String[30];
Gender : Char;
EmailAddr : String[35];
UserInfo : String[30];
OptionData : Array[1..10] of String[60];
Reserved : Array[1..53] of Byte;
End;

RecHistory = Record
Date : LongInt;
Emails : Word;
Posts : Word;
Downloads : Word;
Uploads : Word;
DownloadKB : LongInt;
UploadKB : LongInt;
Calls : LongInt;
NewUsers : Word;
Telnet : Word;
FTP : Word;
POP3 : Word;
SMTP : Word;
NNTP : Word;
HTTP : Word;
Hourly : Array[0..23] of Byte;
Reserved : Array[1..2] of Byte;
End;

NewRecHistory = Record
Date : Cardinal;
Emails : Word;
Posts : Word;
Downloads : Word;
Uploads : Word;
DownloadKB : Cardinal;
UploadKB : Cardinal;
Calls : Word;
NewUsers : Word;
TELNET : Word;
RLOGIN : Word;

NNTP : Word;

BINKP : Word;

End;

So anything that can read the CALLERS.DAT can get it; MPL, Python, whatever.
