Savitar identifies itself as "ANSI" ...., Shouldn't it be more specific? Options

[Guest_Myrd_*]

For identification using the standard telnet client identification protocol, Savitar identifies itself as "ANSI". I think this should be changed to "Savitar" because ANSI isn't really what the client is.

"ANSI" is also the identification of the WindowsXP default telnet client, and for my Mud I would like to differentiate about different clients people use, so I can assist them better if they have some problems w/ how things are displayed etc.

Obviously, this is not convenient to do, if I can't tell if the person is using Savitar or WindowsXP telnet.

On a side note, Rapscallion simply ignores the identification protocol, while other clients like Mac OS X telnet and hydraMUD identify themselves correctly ("XTERM-COLOR", "hydraMUD").

Thanks.

I hate to come off as a jerk, but--I always just ASK people what client they use. Of course I'm not dealing in hardcode here, that might want to ID clients and do something with the information. I'm wanting the info for my brain, not my bits. Not sure what your goal is.
