A vt220 interprets codes in the range 128-159 as control characters.
UTF-8 encoding uses those as continuation-bytes.
Setting LANG to en_US (e.g., an ISO-8859-1) would probably work better.
I gather that kermit can handle UTF-8, but don't know what's involved
in setting it up (but it should be visible in the config-settings).
