Hi Everyone.  I'm posting this under unix discussion because I believe this to
be more of a unix related problem than a Synchronet related one.  I've just
compiled Synchronet on CentOS and the compiling was successful (albeit with
many warnings on files starting with js).  Anyhoo..

My question is when I run the command line utilities like scfg all the line
drawing is messed up.  I'm using putty and UTF-8 on my translation and xterm
for my term type.  (pretty much the default). 

I've tried downloading SyncTerm for windows and I couldn't get it to connect
on SSH - it gave me some sort of handshake error - I was trying to connect to
linux with it, not the BBS.  

I've tried different fonts in putty and also copying the terminfo and termcap
files and setting those up according to the docs.  I guess I'm at a loss as to
how to get the lines to look pretty! :)

I'm very new to Synchronet but not Linux or computers in general - I own my
own IT consulting company going on about 18 years so I'm competent just need
some help.  Thank you!

Rich
