        I understand, but the problem is not with me specifically.

        The Brazilian Portuguese echos of Fido (BR.*) use CP850 especifically 
by design and by some old software thatīs still in use, hence everyone write 
there using CP850, even myself (I change my CHRS for the BR.* echos)

        In that case, it would be awesome to have CP850 support for HOTDOGED.
