Hi Darrick,

I spent a few hours doing google searches one night to find a simple way to 
deal with that.  Some of it came from the Gentoo wiki, some was from an IBM 
site I think, it was a headache.  It sounded like you were facing the same 
irritations I was when I went hunting so I wanted to pass that along to try and
save you some of the hassles.

90% of the time these days I'm at a tty login and doing Alt-F# to switch 
between virtual consoles.  For quick checks on modifications to my bbs I just 
"telnet localhost" and until I did the above it looked like hell.  The other 
issue is I have 48 lines by 128 columns with the way the console is configured.
Telnet from a command prompt causes all sorts of havoc with layout issues due 
to the bbs expecting an 80 column max.  Thus syncterm-linux.

I use mc quite a bit as a file viewer/log viewer and the lines in it display 
fine from Konsole or whatever in X, the bbs however looks like hell.  Haven't 
sorted that one out yet.  Looks fine in syncterm, but telnet from an X console 
looks horrible.

Be well,
   Robert
