   On my macOS shell (terminal app), I can set the code page to Western (EBCDIC   
   latin 1), which as I understand it is code page 037.   
      
   I connect (in ASCII to kerravon.mooo.com port 64000). Then I change the code   
   page to the above. Pressing ENTER does nothing, so I type a "?", which gives   
   me:   
      
   …"Welcome to the Ten Minute Limit BBS…Back in action 24 years after a   
   fascist kicked me off Fidonet…brought to you in glorious EBCDIC…enter an   
   option below:…1. Message area (not yet implemented)…2. File area (not yet   
   implemented)…3. The highest    
   quality porn ever produced (coming soon)"   
      
   When I press a single character, it just sits there, and does nothing.When I   
   type a "1" followed by the ENTER key, it gives me:   
      
   "You entered an invalid option! (hex 71)…it wasn't even a digit!!!…
