I have some thoughts, they may not be relevant, but since I have spent 4 weeks
of my life with related problems:
Have you set the environment variable NLS_LANG? It could be
american_america.we8iso8859p1, american_america.we8dec, whatever your
character set is.
Which are the "western european characters" you are missing, and how are they
represented? Not at all? As question marks?
If the 8th bit is being stripped, you could try stty -istrip. That did the trick
for some of our clients.
If your UNIX machine is an HP, they have a strange character set. We noticed
this after a patch installation, and worked around by using a "standard" xterm.
Let me know if you have any questions,
