Ok, thanks, this brought me a bit further: I can now input =E4 =F6 =FC, b=

it still doesn't display the characters in the vm Presentation buffer,
and =DF or =C4=D6=DC just show control characters when being typed.

I'm using KDE konsole, and experimented with the encoding settings,
but the default or setting ISO-8859-1 explicitly didn't change
anything.
