Hi guys, posting this from a Synchronet BBS, connecting via telnet from 
Linux.
I'm having a bit of a problem in that when I telnet in from the linux 
console, I get major ugliness.  I'm not sure how to describe it, but what 
should be solid blocks of color become accented letters.  I've gotten it to 
work before by downloading some ANSI font and running an xterm, but that's 
not an option here.  How can I get a good-looking session going on?  Do I 
need to find a better client than telnet?
Thanks

John F.
