I have been working with Mike over at PCMicro.com on trying to get DOS games
to display ok under PETSCII on Synchronet.  After many test and configurations
where we used NetFoss, Doorway or just Synchronets Fossil (which turns out to
be the best bet) there are still screen codes being passed to the PETSCII
user making the games unplayable. We tested with Frotz, .com games etc..

After all this testing the past week plus, Mike said "Your best bet would
probably be to contact Deuce and see if he would add an option to Syncterm to
allow it to convert ANSI codes to PETSCII codes when it's in PETSCII mode."

I guess my question is could this be done in Synchronet being it is already
converting other ANSI to PETSCII?  I know myself and Bucko would be big users
of this to allow Commodore users the ability to enjoy DOS games on Synchronet
using a Commodore!

If you would like to see our back and fourth emails and screen captures
isolating the cause and effects I can forward them on to you.
