   Hallo Ozz!   
      
    ON> The challenge is, how common is it for the end user to know their   
    ON> CodePage?   
      
   I'd say the odds are against you.  The safest bet is to stick with 7 bit ascii   
   codes in text messaging, but then where is the fun in that?   
      
    ON> just wonder if there is a way to detect their Terminal CodePage.   
      
   I know that and half-decent telnet clients used to report columns and lines to   
   the mothership it was connecting to.  Also I believe web servers such as   
   Apache can and will obtain that sort of information from clients using cgi   
   scripts and the such.   
      
    ON> which won't work on Dial-up.. and I have been asked to keep   
    ON> Dial-up in the next release   
      
   Understood.  I haven't used dialup in at least 20 plus years now.  If I am not   
   mistaken my last dialup BBS (DOS Maximus) was in 1996-ish.
