I don't understand the need for a translation table.  If the talkers
on both ends are using the same 8 bit character set (ie: KOI-8), then
as long as their displays display the characters they type as themselves,
a translation table should be unnecessary.

The 8-bit cleanliness should go in; the translation table should not.
