To change the translation table that tn5250 uses to convert between
EBCDIC and ASCII, pass the map=<number> option.  See the tn5250 man
page for a full list, or try the command "DSPSYSVAL QCHRID" on your
AS/400, and look at the value for code page.

Austria is codepage 273 by default, so try "xt5250 map=273 ..." to
start with.  This uses ISO-8859-1 on the client, so you shouldn't have
to change the font your xterm is using.
