In telnet or xterm this shouldn't be a problem. But isn't it needed to set the corresponding codepage e.g. 1252 (ANSI Latin 1) instead of 850 (OEM Latin 1) if using ANSI in console window? I would suggest to try ANSI as default behaviour in the developer snapshots in the next time. It's easy to revert if we got problems. Hmm, possibly we should try it _after_ the next net release?!?
