My recollection is that you are using DOS bbs software, right?

Here, with my DOS BBS software, GT Power, most telnet callers need to
call here using a connection type of "RAW" instead of "telnet" to prevent
some odd issues like you are describing.

I do not use SSHD with the DOS BBS at all as I expect that bad things
will happen.  If you want to offer SSH connections, you will probably
want to look at using mystic or synchronet as a front-end for the DOS BBS
and allow them to handle the SSH bits.

It sounds like you did have it working under debian, but it doesn't work
with ubuntu.  My experience with both is that a lot of things that work
just fine with debian proper don't work with ubuntu, even though it is a
fork of debian.  ubuntu likes to stay on the leading edge and, IMHO, the
software is not always tested as well as debian stable.  It is also much
more difficult for a stable system to be the result of a dist-upgrade
under ubuntu.

Is there a reason you changed from debian to ubuntu?
