yes this is incomming translate, with should handle all valid fidonet charsets, 
if hotdoged store all in utf7, it would be possible to reply more or less to 
all desired fidonet charsets, utf7 is very nice and limit to keep 8bit chars as 
multibyte, if it was utf8 all 8bit chars takes double on storage space
