Of course, but picky people would point out that the lines and bars
are not part of ASCII. Here is ASCII:
ftp://kermit.columbia.edu/kermit/charsets/ascii.txt
The lines and bars come in one of two ways: (a) the host and the terminal
emulator agree to use a PC code page instead of a standards-conforming
character set, or (b) the host and terminal emulator use a standard
ISO 2022 character-set switching technique.
If you select the appropriate terminal emulation and inform the host of
it, all should be well. But unfortunately there's an additional twist
to the SCO situation, which is explained here:
