That's fine. At least English letters are the same in most of encodings. :)

Ivonv support do work in some cases, but it doesn't cover all the cases and you still need translation tables, which is odd. My plan is to use iconv without translation tables.
To set correct charset level in kludge I may need to introduce new configuration parameter, because iconv know nothing about FidoNet charset levels obviously.
