[nos-bbs] JNOS on Raspberry Pi - Keyboard garbage on start?

[Brian Pasternak]

Hi Jay. Thanks for the suggestion. It appears that NCURSES is installed.
>>>
libncurses5-dev is already the newest version (6.0+20161126-1+deb9u2).
<<<

I can start JNOS normally if I connect a keyboard and monitor directly to
the Pi. It appears that it's only an issue when I connect to the Pi via
Putty. I've even connected my workstation keyboard, a Logitech K270
directly up to the Pi and verified it's operation.

I've played with the terminal settings in Putty, with no change.

I'll keep plugging away with it to see if I can figure it out. If so, I'll
post my findings.

I'd like to use a Pi for JNOS, but I may use a spare PC. I'm partial to
Ubuntu server. Are there recommendations on which Linux works best for
JNOS? Should I stick with server, or would a workstation/desktop be better?

Thanks,
Brian, AB3RI
