We have the oposite problem. We *need* 7-bit national "SW/FI" char set.

I have not found a way in Putty to support that. Extra! from Attachmate
(now Micro Focus) do that. And I think that WRQ Reflection did.

6-7 years ago I wrote a report about changing to 8-bit ISO-8859-1,

I do not remember for the swedish chars åäöÅÄÖ...
