What does "point to it for ftelnet" mean? And it shouldn't matter what telnet >client the user is using.

I have experienced ftelnet rendering some ANSI screens differently than Syncterm or Magiterm. As the ANSIs in question are hardcoded in a door
game, and I don't think I have many ftelnet callers, I've not looked into
it too much.

I'm not sure if there's an option for that, but there's the ftelnet_splash option, which lets you specify an ANSI file to display (and it appears to take a relative path) - Perhaps you could create an ANSI that just has your BBS name in it.

Is it the answer screen or the splash screen he's trying to edit? He says ftelnet but when I checked his BBS it was the answer screen that was messed up.

He said he wanted fTelnet to display the BBS name rather than the Synchronet ANSI. By default, it seems to display the Synchronet ANSI as the splash screen, so that's what I thought he meant.

I was trying to update the splash screen on ftelnet that shows up from the
web interface for the bbs. I was able to get text to display correctly
using unix2dos.
