Connecting to Slackware 15
==========================
As root on the Slackware 15 server, set up the locale for cp437:

$ localedef -ci en_US -f IBM437 /usr/lib64/locale/en_US.ibm437/

To use codepage 437, at the DOS kermit prompt type:

> set term character-set transparent

After logging into the Slackware 15 system from DOS kermit, type:

$ export LANG=en_US.ibm437
$ export LESSCHARSET=dos

If you need to view a UTF-8 encoded file, type:

$ cat file.txt | iconv -f UTF-8 -t IBM437//TRANSLIT | less
