so i connect to my Mystic BBS with Syncterm and have the font/encoding set to cp437, when i try to play one of my door games - tradwars 2002, the ansi graphics in Tradwars look like garbage, but they are fine when im back in Mystic BBS.

I dont have the option to select utf8 in Syncterm.. but i can with Putty.. and tradwars looks good.

I dont really want to use putty if dont have to, any ideas.

thanks,
Michael
