Note that the ANSI terminal emulation claimed by Telnet is not the ANSI terminal emulation you need with Bulletin Board Systems (BBS's). It does not support color or ANSI line- and box-drawing characters.
Also note that Telnet's VT100 emulation does not support VT100 line- and box-drawing characters either.
The ripple test was performed on a P90 with a direct Ethernet connection.
