I tried installing http://v2gnu.com/qmail/qmailtoaster-plus-0.1-1.3.1.noarch.rpm
I log in using a ssh client called telneat from a windows box.

I see a screen full of formatting gibberish along with a menu.
I use Midnight Commander and I have to use a -a switch to get the same type of gibberish to go away.

There is no man page for qtp-menu.
Is this a UTF8 problem? Any suggestions on how to get the screen formatted correctly while still ssh'd in from a windows box?

Interesting. I used PuTTY to actually write the menus, since all my machines are headless. I will download telneat and give it a try and see if I can reproduce the problem.

Try setting your environment variable for 'TERM' sounds like the terminal emulation in 'telneat' is using one time of terminal vs the terminal th O.S. thinks, just off of the top of my head, try 'export TERM=vt100' or "export TERM=ansi", it will probably change the ouput. If memory serves Dialog is built on ther ncurses library, I believe it uses TERMINFO db. This is not uncommon logging in from Windows clients to *nix machines, have made many custom termcap/terminfo entries in my day. Way too many deviations to do what every 'lil program
thinks is the 'right' kind of terminal....
