People have stated that both the terminal and server need to be in agreement on the encoding. I'm a bit puzzled by this but also not thinking super clearly at the moment. Is the BBS altering the byte order or doing some escaping? I'd think it was entirely up to the client to interpret a sequence of bytes according to whatever encoding it's using.

I'd be skeptical that SyncTERM users are really on the latest version. People have trouble with that for some reason, perhaps due to the raging ugliness of Deuce's website.
