  I've never understood why someone would call a BBS in a terminal that doesn't
support ansi. It's the ansi colors that makes BBSes so interesting to me. My
first monitor was monochrome but once I got a color monitor I never wanted to
see plain text ever again. In todays environment I really can't understand it.
ASC and ANS is all I need and I don't even test the asc screens. I just leave
the synchronet default screens. I'm sure the author did a better job then I
could do. ;-)
