    From hyjinx@21:1/126 to All on Thu Aug 12 18:47:40 2021
    Hi All,

    I have a new server in the USA which I am slowly migrating things to, which will include my BBS at some point, but I wondered if there is anything that
    is 'legacy' that might break when I move everything across.

    Basically I'm just rsyncing mystic over to the new box and re-pointing the
    DNS, so is that known to break anything? Mystic, FTN or otherwise?

    Chur,
    Al

    I would say it would work OK if it's just moving Mystic to a new box and changing an IP.
