Something for me doesnt add up with your reply, so I'll re-iterate what I think you saying and you can set me straight...

Are you saying that Mystic's binkp will send a file to a node using an escape sequence of \## or \x## depending on how the sysop has configured that node in Mystic configuration?

The issue at hand is Mystic's binkp receiving a file, where the sender encodes ASCII < 32 as \x## - Mystic cannot process it. Your reply to this was the sending system shouldnt encode that way (it should be using \##) and thus must be changed.

Did I get that right?
