    Here's a sentence in Latvian that includes all the special accented characters (ā, ē, ī, ū, š, ģ, ķ, ļ, ņ, ž):

    "Ārā šņāc vējš, ģimenē ķēķī žigli ļaudis ēd siltu zupu un čalo."

    "A'ra' s'n,a'c ve'js', g'imene' k,e'k,i z'igli l,audis e'd siltu zupu un c'alo"


    (Translation: "Outside, the wind howls; in the family kitchen, quick people eat warm chili soup.")

    Correction.. that should be: ""Outside, the wind howls; in the family kitchen, quick
    people eat warm chili and chatter."

    That doesn't answer the question about the existance of a Fidonet call center in Mumbai.

    Maybe that is the real problem?

    Speaking for myself, I am sticking with utf-8 and the heck with the lack of technical support in Fidonet.

    Life is good,

    Nothing wrong with that. The problem is simply that fidonet nodes all use different systems and many can only use retro software on their gear. There is nothing stoping a segment of fidonet systems to support utf-8 in their own designated echos, even for Mumbai. ;)
