Blah, I meant to post this to the list directly, not privately...
E-mail is hard.

It could be that Vladimir is looking for a machine that speaks ASCII.
The Soviet equivalents would probably speak one of their codes, e.g.
KOI7 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOI7>, KOI8-R
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KOI8-R> or the like.

If he's trying to interface the TTY with a modern computer (probably
the reason why RS-232 is wanted)... I don't know if many systems even
support KOI7 or KOI8 as "acceptable" character sets.
