If you have a bit of time on your beeb, check out BeeBS. beebs.ddns.net:6502 (Terminal,8n1,Filtering Off,Mode7). Without your help earlier in the year I don't think I'd have figured it out!
Yeah looks good. I think I would probably have done it slightly differently similar to PETSCII with mode 7 running on a different port. This would let y > set the parameters like 40 columns and have everything displayed as they sho > be. Of course, you'd have to write a bunch of your own stuff to make it workErm now I'm confused! Did you select BBC mode 7 at login? That should set all your parameters for Mode 7 and everything should diaplay correctly. A few people with Beebs and Arcs (or the webclient) connect with no issues reported. In commstar (or whatever comms package youre using) was it set to Terminal (notprestel). 8n1, linefeeds off and filtering off? Also not sure why eveeything isin caps for you (sending this from Beeb on BeeBS in mode 7...no caps).
WELL, FOR SOME REASON, IT WANTS ALL THE TEXT TO BE IN CAPS.

Yes, but the login page is all 80 columns until you get to select the
Mode 7 stuff. If you start it all on a port you can have BBC graphics
from the getgo. It's a bit more work, sure, but not too much.

Ah thanks for the heads up, it should be doing 40 column ascii if it
can't detect your terminal and 80 for modern clients, I'll look in to
why it's sending you 80 column on the Beeb.
