Yup, this is the same copy of SyncTerm that I used to call Nigel's BBS & got the cool login screen.

So all I get when I display "\x1b[4c\x1b[<0c" is the 0c, so something isn't jiving.  I downloaded some extra sixel images from:
https://github.com/jerch/node-sixel/tree/master/testfiles

Just in case my ImageMagick wasn't ImageMagick'ing properly, but the same wall of text with these images as well.  I'll maybe spin up my Win 10 32-bit VM and try with Telegard.
