Re: Syncterm responding with garbage...
By: Martin Kazmaier to All on Wed Mar 05 2025 01:12 am
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/
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.
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>

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.
