   I'm looking for a communication s/w allowing external filtering of
incoming data. I like to enter Korean BBS in Korea which use Korean letters
represented in two 8bit codes. Modem port at my school does not allow
8bit/char transmission so that MSB of Korean code is stripped off when
transmitted over phone line from my school to my home. I think I can still
read Korean characters at home on my PC if I have a communication program
with external filter option of incoming data.
  
   My idea is as following. On my unix host, I can filter incoming data from
Korea to get 7bit encoded code for Korean by 'telnet BBS_address_in Korea 
| filter'  . Now, from my unix host at school to my PC on my home, 7bit/char.
data will be transmitted without problem. On PC side, I can filter incoming
7bit data to get original 8bit Korean character if there's any comm. program
with external filtering functionality of incoming data.  Of course, I have a
program to display Korean characters on my PC. Hence, all I need is 
a communication s/w allowing ext. filtering.   

   I would be greatly obliged to you for any useful information.
