| Hello all.
i want to tailor the server for packet radio connections.
forcing the server to run in monochrome or NO ansi color support would help.
(ansi codes mess with the ax.25)
(i'm actually losing the first character of every line on the client display)
is there a way to do this?
i realize most servers allow you to choose on the client side, i want to remove the choices altogether.
back in the day i ran a dialup bbs (TriBBS) and had 3 'screens' for everything, asc,ans,rip.
now i just want asc.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

| You could remove the question "do you want ANSI colour" and leave the player data as "no ansi" but there might conceivably be some ANSI codes hidden in help files etc.
A more brute-force approach would be (in addition to doing that) to strip any ANSI codes just before outputting. For example, in write_to_buffer in comm.c detect a sequence starting with ESC and ending with 'm' and then remove that. |

| thanks for the input,
i appreciate it.
everything 'runs' the way it's supposed to via a direct telnet connection.
it's just when i connect through my jnos box that i lose the first character of every line.

| | I suspect the problem may be something else, but certainly try that and see what happens. |
