Sorry to hear about your crash. It can be completely demoralizing when you lose a whole chunk of work on something.

Yeah I guess it was lucky that it happend around Halloween-ish time when I'm super busy with prop projects anyway hehe

As for the syncterm issues, I always build syncterm from the latest daily source and it now works with Magicka (LibSSH which is OpenSSL based I think). Though it never used to with the 1.0 version. I just tried the latest version on Xibalba, and it didn't work must be some weird bug in cryptlib or node.js ssh. Don't know if that helps at all, you've probably already made all those observations :) Oh the other thing LibSSH works with Xibalba too (ie MagiTerm works)

I ended up sending Deuce a mail, then right after that I had a revolution: What
if it just does't agree with some of the algorithms. So, I enabled everything SSH2 supports (vs the default set) and viola! It seems for e.g. SyncTERM wants to use older (deprecated, really) KEX, cipher, etc. I'll have to send Deuce a updated mail on that. For now, ENiG will support them as well by default but let users override in their config.hjson files.

I need to rewrite MagiTerm. It's performance is bad, I only really noticed when I tried it on my Raspberry PI. Also thinking about adding telnet support, but it's hard to get motivated as SyncTerm works so well on most of the platforms I use.

Well I hope you get back to it. I quite like MagiTerm :) At some point, I'd really like to turn VTX into a client side application with a phone book/etc. Codewar65 has done an amazing job with it (and I hope he continues) and IMO it's the best web client... but having a phone book and the like would be great.

i know this... that's one of the reasons why there is/was a smiley ;)

it is still a wrong node number for this area in fidonet... if it is being gated from zone 10, it needs to be properly gated so that a valid fidonet nodenumber is used... no one can reply to your posts in here via private netmail because of this node number misconfiguration or gating problem... otherwise i would have written to you in private netmail instead of publicaly here in the echo ;)
