[vcf-midatlantic] ansi art

Branching thread per Dan's comment about ANSI art. I have been messing around with this since I re-watched Jason Scott's BBS documentary this weekend. My goal was to get a RIP reader on my pocket chip handheld linux computer. Two days ago I spent some time in a coffee shop near my home connecting to telnet BBS's that have ANSI art. mewbies is a good starting point. I was having some trouble. What is the best terminal program using Debian Linux to read ANSI art RIP files, something one can call from the command line if possible? b
