you're overthinking it.  fuck those guys with no ansi terminals.

You can also just make a file to show ansi users and one where it doesnt.

Most likely those non ansi terminal users are bots hitting your system.
In your logon screen put in a link for syncterm and other terminal clients so
real people can get a client that supports ansi.
