    I have been using CE' PiMiga for some time and he has Term setup for BBS access, this does not seem to work with MorphOS (telser.device), i was gonna try and set this up but i was wondering if anyone uses a better/newer application or a guide for this?

    ANSI colors should work when you configure the program to run on its own screen (disable Options->Use Workbench, configure Settings->Screen mode). If it's run on WB/Ambient, then it uses some boring system pens. "Works for me" at least on Amiga (hosted) BBSes.

    I did follow your earlier guidance to use it on an 800x600 screen rather than having it load on the desktop/workbench screen, i just didn't have any colours, i will try other BBS's and see how it goes, thanks for the help!
