For others wishing to use the package at:

   http://www.version6.net/lg/lg-1.9.tar.gz

The issue seems to be that some devices send back what appear to be
ASCII control sequences - RS, [, carriage-return.

The somewhat ham-fisted solution is to edit lg.cgi (which is a Perl
script), locate the function print_results, and, just before the second
last print statement, insert this line:

   s/\[m$//g ;

There are no actual carriage returns in the data displayed by the
browser, because the first version of this removed any that were there
and it made no visible difference. The RS characters are invisible but
if you want to zot them too, make the second line this:

   s/\x1e\[m$//g ;

Regards, K
