Oh. Okay, well in that case you may want to find a client that works better
with ANSI, specifically BBSing in general. Terminate, Telemate, Qmodem, and
Procomm Plus come to mind. With that said, I can't guarantee pgup/pgdn work in
any of those either though. :)

Kind of like when trying to use a linux console to telnet to a BBS. It may or
may not (depending on your settings for your console) look nice.

Regards,
Nick
