It is configured to 7-bit ASCII, where the ADS echo is configured at 8-bit.
When the message was transmitted from that board to a Magicka system, it
did display mostly correct... it was in color and quite legible, but the
high-ASCII had been converted. So that there was an issue was not
immediately apparently. On Synchronet and, apparently, Mystic, it
was not legible at all.
