Finally got something created, and solved my line feed/carriage return issue with unix2dos.

So now I have a text base answer file that can be used by ftelnet on the web interface.

I'm not sure if there's an option for that, but there's the ftelnet_splash option, which lets you specify an ANSI file to display (and it appears to take a relative path) - Perhaps you could create an ANSI that just has your BBS name in it.

Is it the answer screen or the splash screen he's trying to edit? He says ftelnet but when I checked his BBS it was the answer screen that was messed up.

He said he wanted fTelnet to display the BBS name rather than the Synchronet ANSI. By default, it seems to display the Synchronet ANSI as the splash screen, so that's what I thought he meant.

I was trying to update the splash screen on ftelnet that shows up from the
web interface for the bbs. I was able to get text to display correctly
using unix2dos.
