    Hey everyone,

    I've noticed on a number of Sync BBSs, that some boards have an answer page with an ansi image (and in one case, a jpeg looking picture [on Digital Distortion BBS]--how is that possible?), my 'real' question is this, rather than the default "New" or 'login' prompt, there is seemingly a menu like thus:

    Login Menu:
    Log In
    New User
    Guest account
    Retrieve password
    Email the sysop
    Page the sysop
    Disconnect

    And this menu is navigatable via the up and down menu keys. Is this a type of mod, or command shell?

    Nelgin answered this for me, thank you Nelgin! I will be seeking out the Login Matrox by Nightfox of Digital Distortion. :-)
