I'm trying to modify text files to be displayed to users.
But when I point to it for ftelnet it seems there are no linefeeds or carriage returns.
I'm just trying to use ascii art from banner programs, as I'm
not an ansi artist.
I have no idea how to use syncdraw,thedraw, etc. probably need
to find some demonstration video to help me learn.

What does "point to it for ftelnet" mean? And it shouldn't matter what telnet client the user is using.

I'm trying to modify the file used by ftelnet in the web interface to the BBS, to display name of BBS
rather than Synchronet software image.
in ctrl/modopts.ini

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.
