when I connect to a bbs my keyboard "goes crazy", it makes the symbols
to the wrong keys for example: the "-" key becomes the "?" and
viceversa.

This kind of problem affects the entire keyboard except the letters.

What OS? What telnet program? What BBS platform?

You need to use syncterm or netrunner. Don't use telnet/cmd

Windows telnet is generally accepted to be *pretty terrible*.

yeah the "telnet" terminal (which I assume you're using from Windows
command prompt) doesn't really do ANSI. Best use Syncterm or
NetRunner.

SyncTerm, Netrunner, and even mTelnet work for most BBSes.

PuTTY is also an awful terminal emulator. I strongly advise Syncterm
or Netrunner. PuTTY is well known but it's not even great for SSH'ing
to Linux boxes IMO, I'd rather use something like Terminus
