    I'm using the following aliases for ensuring CP437 (IBM DOS US)
    character set when using telnet/ssh for bbsing.

    alias telnetbbs='luit -g0 "CP 437" -- telnet'
    alias sshbbs='luit -g0 "CP 437" -- ssh'

    This lets me do:

    telnetbbs host.roughneckbbs.com

    And the characters look right in my unicode terminal. Seems to be in the
    box with ubuntu. For current/net windows pty terminals, can use msys to install luit.
