Nice to know it also works in MagiTerm! I didn't realize MagiTerm sent version info to SBBS like SyncTerm does. I'll amend my message based on this.

That's correct, I'm including scaling in the convert call because I wanted to
ensure the entire image would fit in the terminal window. I did consider making
the scaling optional, so maybe an enhancement for later.
Ap> Syncterm / Magiterm both scroll sixel images that

That's interesting, because for me scrolling back in SyncTerm seems to destroy the sixel image; it just disappears completely. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Ap> Anyway, cool mod & well done :)
Much appreciated! Thanks for checking it out and sharing your findings.
