@jimblimey it's okay. My #Sony #HB75D also only allows 40 column mode when doing telnet.
You may want to try @particlesbbs as it offers support for text-only (ASCII) in 40 column mode. I tested it with my #Sony #HB75D

Yay, the MSX Pico cartridge just arrived and I immediately had to give it a try on my #HB75D - works like a charm!
Now I can finally enjoy some MSX hands on experience ... (and play #AntarcticAdventure !)

A #Sony #HitBit #HB75D (german version, PAL video and QWERTZ keyboard) the only #MSX machine I have in my collection.
You can see the name of the original owner (Otto Zinsser - unknown to me) engraved on the case. Quite understandable since the machine cost DM 1000 when it was released in 1984. People wanted to protect their property.
