Subj : Syncterm and Atari BBSes

I recently saw an add for an Atari BBS and wanted to check it out.  The ad said
that "atari ascii" support was required to connect, so I set Syncterm up to use
Atari XEP80.

The connection worked well overall.  Not having done this before, I do have a
few questions.  Should I have expected to need to use CTRL-M instead of the
Enter key on my linux PC?  Also, should I have expected that the BKSP key would
not work?

Been so long since I had used an Atari BBS I could not remember if that was
thing back in the 1980s/90s, too, so I didn't want to assume that these quirks
were/were not bugs without asking.  Thanks!
