I was wondering that.  I was looking at the RA documentation (RA.DOC), which has a section for RA.EXE command-line parameters, but I didn't see such a parameter.  Also, I was looking in Synchronet's documentation for running doors, and it looked like there was no parameter to specify whether the user has ANSI or not.  I think Synchronet expects doors to detect user's ANSI capabilities.

RemoteAccess normally detects ANSI when a user connects though (including when another program passes a modem connection to it), so I know RA has that capability.
