I certainly wouldn't.  Only full IBMs can display them, and writing a
TCAP driver for a BBS that knows the extended characters for most
terminals and does two-way translation would be a great deal more
trouble than it's worth.  (Being an egalitarian weenie, I figure that
if everyone on the system who has a terminal capable of doing an action
isn't allowed to do it by the BBS software, the BBS software isn't
doing its job.  PBBS gets around this, of course, by knowing absolutely
nothing about any terminals at all, and treats everyone equally badly.)
