I´m connecting through telnet and i have to use icelandic characters on freebsd, the telnet client is not the problem i can use icelandic characters on HP-UX and by setting LANG to is_IS.ISO8859-1 icelandic characters work under bash but not with uemacs, csh or any other program. When typing icelandic characters it's like uemacs cuts the 8th bit off like EIGHT_BIT_CHARACTERS is not set on in Irc. Any help is appreciated.... Hordur Johannsson hordjo@ismennt.is
