Perhaps I'm naive, but putting Japanese on the screen should be
no more than a question of making the proper system call for a
screen write....
As an interim measure, you can do what I do: make a "DOS/V" boot disk
and use the OS/2 "dos from drive a" option to start a Japanese session.
Then, run kermit 3.14 in this dos session. I do this regularly to
access the Nikkei telecom data base (bastardized old jis). The only
problem I've noticed is that OS/2 has a bit of trouble handling 38,400
baud with Japanese.
The specific "DOS/V" that I use is IBM PC-DOS/V 6.3 but most
other variants should work.
I'll be off to Japan sometime in late July (I hope). I'll try to
pick up the appropriate docs then.
