I've never had this problem.  Perhaps the BBS is sending the wrong codes
to your system, or trying to send color codes that are being
misinterpreted by ProTERM.  (I know of some boards that set their normal
text to the equivalent of bolded text on Zterm on the Mac.)  Such codes
could do strange things with ProTERM.

It is quite possible it is v2.1 that is broken, not correctly translating
the vt-100 codes.  I've never had v2.2 hang on me for other than
understandable phenomena, like disconnected keyboard or receiving an
endless number of ^M's.
