Hello All,

I discovered a fix for the problem using fTelnet on your website and DOS doors 
under DOSemu not working due to fTelnet sending "ansi-bbs" as the term 
variable if your distro uses termcap.

I will be putting this into the new "how to run DOS doors" section in the new 
MBSE docs but for now...

=== Cut ===
Using fTelnet on your website to connect to MBSE does not work with DOS
doors running under DOSemu since fTelnet sends the term variable set to
"ansi-bbs" and there is not an entry in terminfo or termcap for "ansi-bbs"
so DOSemu abends.

There is an easy fix for this if your Linux distro uses termcap:

1) Become the "mbse" user on your MBSE computer.

2) Go to:
   https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/raw/master/install/terminfo

   Save this file as /opt/mbse/terminfo

3) Go to:
   https://gitlab.synchro.net/main/sbbs/-/raw/master/install/termcap

   Save this file as /opt/mbse/termcap

4) Switch to "su" (do NOT use "su -") and run these two commands:

   # tic terminfo
   # cat termcap >> /etc/termcap

5) You can switch back to the "mbse" user and delete those two files you
created.

This fix works under Devuan Linux so it should work on any other Debian-based 
distro.  It should work under Slackware too if memory serves.

Thanks to Rob Swindell, et al., for posting this on the Synchronet BBS wiki
at http://wiki.synchro.net/install:nix!
