Hey all, I'm new to linux, not so new to BBSing. In any case, I'm running
Ubuntu 10.04 and have noticed a bunch of apps available for telnetting to a
BBS. However, upon installation and connecting to my favorite BBSes I noticed
that the blocks that would normally make up an ANSI image are some form of
asian character. I've really only tried qTerm so far. I was wondering if there
was a better app to look at, or if anyone had any idea what I need to do to
get ANSI to display correctly in qTerm.

Secondly, I noticed that there were a few BBS softwares out there that run
under linux now, not to mention running under wine. Are any of them fairly
well developed, or are they still in their infancy? 

Third, are there any apps out there that exist in the linux world to do ANSI
painting?

Thanks,

Tharkis
