Positive. Synchronet is detecting me as US-ASCII w/ ANSI (vs CP437 w/ ANSI) and I'm getting the shorter inactivity upon connect, through login, right up until the minesweeper stats. The Synchronet ANSI isn't shown with upper ASCII characters, it replaces a lot of them with *s or @s or various standard ASCII ones.

Well, it's not _right_ after, or I wouldn't get disconnected at that pause prompt after 30 seconds. But let's see what Matt says he has set in that location. On his board it happens to me even at the main menu. Same settings/configuration as when connecting to Vertrauen.
