I appears to me when I connected, that the 'garbage' seen is actually data sent 
in the wrong or incompatible character set.  I'm using UTF8 by default (as most 
Linux/Unixes would;  however, when I switched to Latin-1 (MSDOS 8bit), it 
correctly displays your opening ANSI graphic page.

I would look to set about the character set settings with the connection and 
BBS to resolve.

Good Luck,
