Try the different "interface" modes (i.e. run "scfg -?" to list the
command-line options and try the different "-i" combinations) - probably "-iF"
for cursors with forced "IBM charset".
Also, make sure you have Putty configured for a UTF-8 "Remote characer set"
(under settings->Window->Translation).
There are other tricks for getting the *nix console to send the character codes
your terminal expects (terminal settings, termcaps, escape sequences).

What version of SyncTERM? Recent builds (after 1.0) incorporate a newer version
of cryptlib which fixes most SSH incompatibilities.

If you're referrring to the Synchronet docs (wiki?) those termininfo/caps
settings are for propert *remote* display of cursors programs (e.g. doors) run
by the BBS.
