ncurses apps (such as yast) on a serial console

Hi all,

I've got some servers hooked up to a console server. They now have a serial
console which is working great, except for one detail: curses apps, such as
yast, seem to suffer from some UTF8/latin1 conversions.

My setup is: suse 9.2 workstation, suse 9.2 console server running minicom,
suse 9.2 server with nullmodem attached.

$TERM is set to vt102, minicom is also in vt102 mode. minicom itself runs
with a $LANG=en_US.UTF-8. as is the konsole I'm starting the ssh session to
the console server in.

$LANG is not set in the shell I log into via the serial console. Setting it
to en_US.UTF-8 makes no difference.

Any clue on how I can make this work?
