Accurate ANSI emulation in OS X?
« on: 21 August 2004, 05:29 »
I telnet to some BBSs occasionally and have not found a single terminal emulator for OS X yet that can handle ANSI graphics correctly (i.e. they way they would appear with DOS's ansi.sys).  GLTerm comes CLOSE, but is still hard to look at.  Virtually all door games (like say Food Fight) are unplayable as well.  Any suggestions?

Well, if anyone cares Slashdot accepted my question, though I haven't had a chance to try everyone's solutions yet.
