    does synchronet provide the fossil or uart or is this something i need to add to the bbs? run it through a batch file?

    You don't need to run anything through a batch file.

    Synchronet for Windows comes with its own virtual UART / FOSSIL driver. https://wiki.synchro.net/monitor:sbbsexec

    A UART is the physical serial/comm port/device. A "virtual UART driver" creates a software virtual UART for DOS software to see/talk to as if it's a talking to a physical UART.

    I am not sure about the > symbols. I do not see them here. I am using the web interface to read and reply.

    There's more than one "web interface" for Synchronet. I assume you're referring to ecWeb. Maybe try using the traditional BBS interface for messaging instead?

    I'm replying to your message using ecWeb. It automatically put the > symbols at the beginning of each line of your message when I quoted it with the "Quote" button. Seems to work fine.

    of your message when I quoted it wit
    the "Quote" button. Seems to work fi

    This is just a theory as I have not
    seen or used that web interface, but
    what if you accidentally move your
    cursor to the quoted area, pressed
    enter to go to a new line, and started
    typing there? I think I have seen
    message editors get confused like that
    and just keep adding >'s to newly typed
    lines.

    It seem to work intuitively to me (and I didn't write it). <shrug>

    This is just a theory as I have not seen or used that web interface, but

    why are you making a theory when you haven't seen it.

    to go to a new line, and started typing there? I think I have seen message editors get confused like that and just keep adding >'s to newly typed lines.

    what message editors did that?
