+Terminal Capabilities
+---------------------
+As you have probobly noticed by now, most telnet programs designed for BBSs
+do not display screens in *nix programs correctly.  Included with Synchronet

+output be useable in standard BBS terminals.  These files are termcap and
+terminfo.  Your system will use one of the other, and it won't hurt to install

+
+Installing the terminfo:
+------------------------
+1) Change to the directory which contains the terminfo file.
+2) enter the command ``tic terminfo''

+Installing the termcap:
+-----------------------

 Running Synchronet
 ------------------
 If you've initialized the SBBSCTRL environment variable and edited your BBS
 and server configuration, you are now ready to run Synchronet. You can do
 this by simply running exec/sbbs (off of the installation directory).
 
+If you want Synchronet to start automatically whenever your system boots,

+FreeBSD:
