    On an SSH connection to shsbbs.net with the credentials bbs:shsbbs netrunner and other bbs terms give me garbage from windows. From linux, they're fine. From Putty, ZOC or the ssh commandline it's fine. Can anything be done to fix this? I'm merely using the openssh daemon to
    call a mystic telnet session to my BBS.

    I appears to me when I connected, that the 'garbage' seen is actually data sent
    in the wrong or incompatible character set. I'm using UTF8 by default (as most
    Linux/Unixes would; however, when I switched to Latin-1 (MSDOS 8bit), it correctly displays your opening ANSI graphic page.

    I would look to set about the character set settings with the connection and BBS to resolve.

    Good Luck,
    Scott

    I was using OpenSSH in Windows, which only support UTF8. Now I'm using a Mystic SSH server and all is well.
