So yeah, I'm looking for a terminal, putty, tinyfugue, command line, option, hack, roxterm added option, a way to use "luit" in Xterm, or anything else creative to get on telnet using "CP 437" character coding instead of the typical UTF-8 or ISO-88591-1 encoding.
I'm trying to get IBMgraphics on the tablet... and yes, I'm a total dork trying to run Nethack using such encoding.
Is this not possible because I'm coming up short on everything I'm looking at and searching for.
Even a simple yes or no if this can be done would lighten up my day!
Did you try this? I am afraid that luit (nor screen) are in the diablo repos. However, if you are running something on a remote machine, you can probably run this:
Ok, I was assuming you wanted to run a program on another machine that you had logged into from your tablet. What program on the tablet does not output to utf-8?
There is no such thing as "another terminal that can support such a command line". Luit is a standalone program which in principle can work with any terminal. The problem is not to find "the right terminal" but to find luit compiled for the Internet Tablets. If you were running a program on a remote machine, you could just run luit from that remote machine (which would probably be easier).
and basically the same error when using Qwerty's Roxterm.
Is there another terminal that can support such a command line?
Allow me to clear your confusion a little...
It's not the property of a terminal application to support different command line commands. The terminal application simply echoes to screen what a given program is printing and supplying keystrokes back to the program as input. Normally, inside the terminal (or connected to the terminal or whatever) runs a program called "shell", typically "bash" on a desktop Linux system, but a cut-down compatible version called "ash" on the tablets. The shell provides a command prompt where you can type the names of external programs (*) and any parameters you want to pass to them, which the shell then runs. "screen" and "luit" are such programs, completely separate from the shell and the terminal application.
Does this help any?
(*) Shells typically reserve some command names for their own use. These are called "built-in" commands. Typing such a command name on the command prompt does not cause the shell to run an external program of that name, unless explicitly told so.
