It turns out that Ubuntu has some missing symlinks that are needed by SyncTERM.
I could not find out exactly which links to create, but did find that
installing the libsdl-console-dev package on Ubuntu with all of its
dependencies has solved the problem.  SyncTERM renders 100% correctly, CTRL-C
is no longer an issue, and I love it.  Thanks for pointing me to this program.
I don't even need to change the character encoding in my console window to use
it.

Actually I do have one complaint.  When I press CTRL+ALT+F2 to go full screen
and run SyncTERM for a true BBS experience, nothing renders right.  The screens
are all mis-aligned etc...  Oh well, I'll just have to keep running it in a
window.
