  [13] How can I read/write Chinese BIG5 chars via NCSA Telnet utility in PC?~

        Load BIG5 Chinese system in PC.
!       You must use 8-bits clean telnet. Try to get it from  
!    moers2.ecu.tw:/chinese-pub/ncsa/{ncu,nctu,itri,iii}. 
!    (nctuccca.edu.tw is a mirror site of moers2.edu.tw). Or use "cutcp"
!    (another NCSA ), in which only rlogin is 8-bits clean. If you want to
!    get the lastest version of NCTU's 8-bit telnet, please get it from
!    ftp,csie.nctu.edu.tw:/pub/msdos/NCSA.

ed
