Your hebvga.com program loads the hebrew letters to ASCII positions
128-154, apparently. While this isn't the standard position for the
hebrew characters, it shouldn't be too big a barrier to cross. However,
this is *NOT* your problem. If you enter values between 128 and 154 on
your linux box, then dial in from your DOS box (after having loaded hebvga
on the DOS machine), and cat the file from the Linux box, you *will* see
hebrew. Your main problem is that this way of handling hebrew is not
compatible with the rest of the world. So this takes care of displaying
hebrew. You still have a problem with *entering* hebrew. The simplest
method is to tell Telix (or Telemate -- I prefer the latter -- it's far
more versatile) to translate each entered keycode for the lowercase
alphabet to hebrew, and let the uppercase go through. The down side is
that you lose the ability to type lowercase english from the DOS side, but
it *will* give you hebrew input/output. Alternitavly, you could map the
lowercase to hebrew, the uppercase to lowercase, and, say, ctrl-letter to
the uppercase letter in english.
Of course, *all* of this is unneeded contortion, if you can get your
clients to use a more "standard" method of using hebrew, namely ascii
positions 226-250.
