Hi Elissa! Most of my telnet clients connect using an 80x24 screen geometry. Without any sort of automatic pausing, users will have to use their scrollback buffers. This is fine in most traditional style terminal emulators but in a lot of BBS specific telnet/ssh clients it's kind of unnatural/a pain in the neck. It's not the typical user experience one would expect on a BBS and I expect a lot of users would not even realize they've missed anything as they would be used to seeing everything in a single 80x24 screen.
Thanks for your reply!
