Thanks, but the remote pine I run already have ISO-8859-1

Yes, I forgot to mention that I use KDE. And konsole does not have the 
possibility to change encoding from the menu bar.

[root at localhost ~]# ps axuwwww | grep nolisten
root      3066  2.0  8.8 125676 45716 ?      S    02:12   1:51 
/usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
root      9643  0.0  0.1  5144  648 pts/2    R+   03:42   0:00 grep nolisten

Which program do I use to change gdm settings?

gdm              gdmflexiserver   gdmphotosetup    gdmXnest
gdm-binary       gdmgreeter       gdmsetup         gdmXnestchooser
gdmchooser       gdmlogin         gdmthemetester
