Re: [Debian Etch] Garbage characters when SSHing

Hi!

The problem with widows' ssh terminals is that they are poorly
implemented. Some of them, like Putty, pretends to by xterm, but they
really far from emulating the xterm functionality.
I think they just implement 10% of the functionality, this is fine for
90% of the programs, but not for Turbo Vision.
I don't have time and/or motivation to fix Putty or other terminals, or
to write a special TV driver just for them.
If you are using a LAN you could try to use some X client that runs on
Windows, I never tried it but I think they exists (Sun had it more than
10 years ago). May be you have more luck with it.

P.S. It looks like your terminal emulator is failing to decode the color
escape sequences.
