There are some BBS systems that require local echo to be turned on. If you could add this to the options in them item preferences, that would be excellent.

    Yeah... Me too I wish we could have "local echo" of what we type. There are some BBS where it would help because they don't echo back what we type and it's annoying a little. SyncTERM is close to be perfect. It is very nice.

    I haven't encountered one of these aside from line-at-a-time systems which are a bit different than local echo... do you have an example I can connect to?

    I would love to use syncterm for MUDs and many of those do not "echo back" and need local echo support. +1 to this big time, and local echo was a standard feature of BBS communication apps back in the day!

    syncterm still does not have local echo toggle as far as i can see.
    it would be useful with some muds/mush and talkers.
    here is one example cubanbar.hochstenbach.net:1234
