    I've been using SyncTerm on Linux and find the ansi doesn't work as well as using Xterm. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this. I prefer SyncTerm to using Xterm as there is no file transfer in Xterm.

    "work as well" is a horrible bug report.

    You should make a screenshot showing them side by side and what
    Problem you are having.

    "ANSI doesn't work as well" doesn't really mean much. What doesn't work
    about it? Did you report it in the Source Forge bug tracker?

    I figured it out after talking to the Syncterm people. I didn't have it on the right format on the BBS. Once I changed it, it works great.
