Another solution would be to use UTF-8 as the wire encoding, and have
the local and remote ssh implementations do all conversion to the
local encodings. Kermit does exactly that (optionally).
If you know that your local terminal groks UTF-8, you can simulate the
functionality by typing
luit
first thing when you login.
