Are you sure that you were using 5A(191) and not 5A(190)?
There were no changes to the display mechanisms that I can think of
that would have affected the ability to view Japanese text with K/2.
In fact, I am surprise that you would be able to view it with 5a(191).
5a(191) was the first version of OS/2 C-Kermit to use the virtual screen
update mechanism which I would assume would preclude viewing code page
932 properly since neither C-Kermit nor K/2 have support for double
byte character sets.
One change in K/2 is that all data is stored internally as Unicode.
I would check to make sure that your SET TERM REMOTE-CHARACTER-SET is
equal to your SET TERM LOCAL-CHARACTER-SET in both the dialer and
while you are online.
Please contact kermit-support directly for further assistance in this
matter.
