Lower ASCII characters.

Hi, I'm writing a BBS telnet program. I'm having issues with it not displaying lower ASCII characters. For example, instead of displaying the "smiley face" character (Ctrl-B), it displays ^B. Is this because i'm using Ncurses? If so, is there any way around this? Thanks. (3 Replies)

rup

rup(1C) 						      Communication Commands							   rup(1C)

NAME

       rup - show host status of remote machines (RPC version)

SYNOPSIS

       rup [-hlt]

       rup [host]...

DESCRIPTION

       rup gives a status similar to uptime for remote machines. It broadcasts on the local network, and displays the responses it receives.

       Normally,  the  listing	is in the order that responses are received, but this order can be changed by specifying one of the options listed
       below.

       When host arguments are given, rather than broadcasting rup only queries the list of specified hosts.

       A remote host will only respond if it is running the rstatd daemon, which is normally started up from inetd(1M).

OPTIONS

       -h    Sort the display alphabetically by host name.

       -l    Sort the display by load average.

       -t    Sort the display by up time.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
