The only time I have encountered a real "distortion" with the ANSI 
using minicom is thru split screen chat on synchronet system when the sysop has 
ngaged me 
in chat, or when I enter a BRE, FE, or TAL game. 

The actual BRE ansi screen, for instance the BBS logon ads, displays fine 
though.

I setfont cp866-8x16

and 
minicom -l --color=on

Though I don't know why I have that color arg in there.... Was 
experimenting the other day. I was using minicom -8, but the current 
command line params are working slightly better.
