title: Use Mystic BBS with Telnet CP437 codepage | ||

# Use Mystic BBS with Telnet CP437 codepage | ||
By default WebSSH uses UTF-8 encoding to display characters. However, some BBS systems like Mystic BBS use the CP437 codepage. This can lead to display issues when connecting to a Mystic BBS system : | ||

|
||
# How to fix it | ||
## Use the CP437 Remote Character Set | ||
Inside your ssh_config file, you need to define a RemoteCharacterSet property in order to use the CP437 codepage. Here is an example of a ssh_config file : | ||
|
||
```ssh | ||
Host my-mystic-bbs-server-name | ||
#!RemoteCharacterSet CP437 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
## Fix the window size | ||
Most telnet systems like Mystic BBS uses a 80x24 window size. You can define a fixed window size in your ssh_config file : | ||
|
||
```ssh | ||
Host my-mystic-bbs-server-name | ||
#!RemoteCharacterSet CP437 | ||
#!FixedSize 80x24 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
You will now be able to enjoy your Mystic BBS system with the correct CP437 codepage : | ||
