Erm dunno - but the BBS is running on a Windows / DOS box so I doubt it's pumping out any DEC multinational chars.

All I did was change the connection command in the login script from TELNET to KERMIT (kermit does some char filtering).

Does that mean that DEC Multinational characters won't work either?

Chaps,
I've changed the connection for B4BBS (via the B4BBS account on CHIMPY) to use KERMIT - this means that the IBM high-characters are filtered out and the system is much more usable on a normal terminal.
Give it a go if you fancy say a game of ANSI backgammon (Main Menu X - 2 - 6).
