It's probably a terminal type thing. I've noticed in Putty instead of
getting vertical and horizontal "bars" in the curses interface I get
xxxxxx and qqqqqqq with l-m-k-j in the corners.
Running from the console actually displays properly for me.
There are a bunch of various rendering options within Putty to deal
with this I think.
Try each of the following from your terminal/console...
export TERM=vt100; iptraf
export TERM=linux; iptraf
export TERM=xterm; iptraf
You can also increase your console resolution (with care).

Edit your grub or lilo config and add vga=NNN where NNN is either the
hex or decimal equivalent to your desired resolution from the tables
above.
