we use kubuntu over here... that means we're using the KDE interface... we simply open a konsole and telnet or ssh to the BBS as desired... zmodem works for uploads and downloads... ANSI is processed... some characters might
not display as desired due to code page differences but so far, i've not seen problems that are really bad... plus, if the BBS supports it, some UTF-8 is supported which is nice as we move away from the old-school CP437
thinking...
