(font?)problems With Openssh Vs Suse91

hi there
all time long since suse 8x I'm using openssh to work on my suse_machine.
with suse8.x and 9.0 there was no big problems.
:good connection. speedful. and all was well: working with mc.
sometimes I must change my terminal_configuration, to get yast well on my machine.
but just now, after installing suse91!

I think, suse has changed something very special:
this is new: "UTF-8-Kodierung als Standard"
See also: http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/locales.html

but there is now a very strong problem in using openssh. I'm using openssh -an os2 port- on my os2_machine. until now I havn't not any terminal configuration, which I can use.
ok: sun_term will work. but no F10_key (or others) in mc...
very strange for me.

who can help?

thanks a lot.
Yours
