1) Most of the time, ANSI graphics in terminal programs don't require 
DEVICE=ANSI.SYS in CONFIG.SYS-- it is unfortunate that the same name is 
used for two very different uses... try simply removing the offending line 
from CONFIG.SYS-- the terminal software may work in any event.
2) Check for the WIN95 version of ANSI.SYS (if you really need to load 
this)... it would be in your \WINDOWS\COMMAND folder, along with the rest 
of the W95-DOS files. If you are trying to load your C:\DOS version, you'll 
get the 'Incorrect DOS Version' error message.
If you don't find ANSI.SYS in \WINDOWS\COMMAND, check on your W95 CD for an 
OLDMSDOS folder... it will have a bunch of other DOS utilities that aren't 
installed by default, along with an INSTSUPL.BAT file (or some such name).
To install them, run the batch file-- do not simply copy them into 
\WINDOWS\COMMAND. The batch file properly updates SETVER to allow them to 
run.
3) If the terminal programs you're referring to are Windows programs, they 
probably do not need ANSI.SYS, but DO need you to choose a screen font that 
includes the BBS-ANSI character set-- i.e. the PC Linedraw characters. 
Win95 comes with a Terminal font for that purpose, and you'll find a couple 
of truetype Ariel fonts in a MINITEL folder on the W95 CD that can be used.
