Call utility fonts

Hi gents,

Using the call utility on my local FBB BBS, I can't get the
french accentuated letters.
On the Linux side, I use an iso latin font for the console
(and under X window as well). I guess spanish, scandinavian
and many others have tune Linux for their specific alphabet.
The problem is that for the FBB BBS I tried the langage option
for french accentuated letters, but it doesn't work with the
call utility. OTOH it seems that FBB charset isn't an iso one.
My question is has someone solved the problem to get a good
looking between a Linux box and a FBB BBS with his national
charset ?
