If I set in the configuration to use        EW> CP437, the ansi is ok. But when I log in via ssh/telnet, I need to set        EW> the terminal program to use CP437 as well. However, the ANSI is still        EW> screwed up regardless of which setting you use when you log in using        EW> netrunner (nr21 version).              Are you using the default ANSIs or have you created new ones? Some of this       could depend on how the ANSIs are saved.              There are three settings for character translation, one for the local UI and       two used for each user when a connection is established.              The local UI setting is in System Configuration> General settings. When       Mystic is installed it should give you a quiz so it can determine what that       setting should. When you run "./mystic -l" (make sure you have the -l) the       ANSI should look normal. If it does not, try changing it.              The second settings are in the Login/Matrix setting. The "default codepage"       setting is what Mystic defaults to for each user that connects. Almost always       you'll want this set to CP437. Then there is the "Ask Codepage" setting which       can be set to "Detect" "Ask" or a specific codepage. You can try setting that       to Ask to experiment with it but you can probably keep it on Detect unless you       are having issues.              ...
