Hello Daryl,

AB>Are ANSI and colour commonly used in packet radio?

DS>  It depends on what program you use. On my Pentium computer that I
DS>run my BBS (and a packet door) on, I use a simple DOS program called
DS>"EZ PACKET". On my Radio Shack Model 102 laptop, I use a program
DS>called XMDPW5, which like the EZ PACKET program, allows for Xmodem
DS>or ASCII file transfers. The TNC basically doesn't care about the
DS>date, unless you're using a fancy packet program. For the most part,
DS>if you're just going after messages via a packet bulletin board
DS>system, all you need is black and white ASCII text.

It seems to me that you didn't quite answer the question from Andy.
ANSI and ASCII aren't the same thing.
