To work again, via Horgoš.
Actually, old sezam started working yesterday again. When those two guys left, they took their software with them (it seems they never got paid for it, so it was theirs to take). So the old BBS was crippled and kind of worked, mostly stayed offline. I think I tried it a couple of times, though I did that from home. From Szoftex, I used it very sparingly, staying with automated send/receive, which did everything in a quick batch, all the reading and writing being delegated to the SOR (sezam offline reader). The call was charged as international, and while they tolerated our calling home from time to time, I didn't feel like overusing it, so I kept my calls home and my online sessions short.

Here's the usual choice of codepages available to users of both forums (at least that they had in common):
a)*None ccdszCCDSZ
b) CP852 źćĐ秞ĆŃćč
c) juski ~}|{`^]\[@
d) JUS.015 ¨ćđšž ˇ˘Ł¤
e) CP1250 čćđČžČĆĐŠŠ
f) Custom1 []@#\{}^~|
g) Custom2 čćđšžČĆĐŠŽ
h) Custom3 čć𚞧¨ĐŠŽ
i) Racunari čćđšžČĆĐŠŽ
j) MMikro §ĆćščžČ¨đ
k) Latin2 čćđąľČĆĐćČ
l) MacCustom Ś–Ď‹ľčšÎĚČ
The result of the codepage confusion is obvious in this message from, ahem, schef*

On SezamNET everyone's subscription is extended for 30 days more. Who ĆeverČ
was a member (even for just a month) also gets 30 days more (I think)

Which usually worked, except some guy couldn't type š, because his keyrus73.exe (russion keyboard driver which he hacked a bit) just couldn't do it, as he deleted the files he didn't need (and now needed them again).
