  • Syncterm responding with garbage...

    From Martin Kazmaier@VERT to All on Wed Mar 5 01:12:00 2025
    On an SSH connection to shsbbs.net with the credentials bbs:shsbbs syncterm
    and other bbs terms give me garbage from windows. From linux, they're fine. From Putty, ZOC or the ssh commandline it's fine. Can anything be done to
    fix this? I'm merely using the openssh daemon to call a mystic telnet
    session to my BBS.

    The correct place to ask SyncTERM support questions/file issues would be: https://sourceforge.net/p/syncterm/tickets/

    That said, it sounds like the server is sending UTF-8 sequences. SyncTERM doesn't (yet) support UTF-8.

    I tried connecting (w/SyncTERM) to the server you specified with the credentials you gave and was just immediately disconnected. <shrug>

    I posted an issue there and was never responded to. Sorry for the delay in
    my fidonet messages, there was a problem with my hub.

    OpenSSH in Windows only supports UTF-8. I'd have to use Mystic as the SSH server instead of just the telnet shiv for SSH. I'll do that now. I just wanted to be able to use SSH locally between machines, so I was using OpenSSH as the server. I've switched to Mystic for the SSH server and changed the
    port number of OpenSSH. I think everything is working now.
