When I use the menu command from my BBS I just get 1 character repeating forever...

I've tried 'usessl = 1' and 'usessl = 0'
python3 mrc_client.py seems to connect fine and my BBS shows in /BBSES when I
connect to another BBS w/MRC
I have all the .ans files in my mystic/themes/default/text directory. mrc_config.py is completely filled out.
menu command is GX with mrc_client as data.
I'm using MRC 1.3.7 Alpha
Mystic BBS v1.12 A48
I did compile mrc_client.mps with ./mplc -t and it said it compiled ok.

Any suggestions?

I had the exact same issue and it had to do with missing files in the themes/default/text dir. I know you said you copied them all... Did you double check ownership & permissions? Just a thought...

I did not copy them all =p I only copied the mrc_client.mps file. I figured this out right after I posted. Thanks for the reply!
