I am using 1.1rc4.  I am pretty sure I compiled it myself.

I think it is called Atari.  I tried that one first and it didn't work well
for this particular BBS.  I tried the XEP-80 next and the board displayed
quite well.

I remember using CTRL-M back in the old days on some boards (not sure they
were Atari) so I didn't think much of that one, but not having a working
BKSP key was a little more (minor) annoying.  ;)
