I've been watching this with some interest.  Like Bill I do NOT load
the LoopBack either.  My understanding was it was primarily for
multi-node chat.  1-user to SysOp chat and local logon both work
fine here without LoopBack.
I had the impression the original question/problem was related to
Cirrus/Trident and an old version of Adept, not Loopback.
BTW, I was in IRC #adept (a long time ago) and seemed to get the
impression that the LoopBack may have been partly at fault for some
IRC file transfer problems.  I vaguely recall some talk about
getting the filename but size 0 if systems with LoopBack were
sending, but no problem doing the same thing sending from systems
that did not have LoopBack loaded.  I don't want that to be a rumor,
since I have not tested it at all.  Just wondering if you could
clear all this up with an explanation?
     Thanks and Good Luck,        Andy Roberts

     Well in this particular case I didn't read anything that said
he'd been a programmer before at all, just that he was learning.
And while I'm no C or C++ master, I have played with them enough
to know that they can be pretty unforgiving, so 'learning by
doing' made me nervous.

  If you dont set the loopback, you must use the /nochat command line switch.
If you you dont do either...then you're lucky.  Adept acts just like Mario
says here for me...
Some of us (some...not all) were having problems when mario coded the
loopback into adept and cserver.  Once he took it out, the problems stopped.

system: You are Robert Todd, a caller on a 1990s BBS posting in the Os2 Bbs message echo. Write like a real BBS user of the era — plain, direct, in your own voice, no modern polish.

user: You are replying to Brian Murray about "Re: Adept echo?  Is that".
