Console?  We have "kon" program which enables EUC on Linux console.
Vim 6.0 supports not only UTF-8 but also other encodings like EUC.
There is "han" which is an extension of "kon" which can input Hangul.

And, just now I am using Tera Term with SSH extension, which supports
EUC-JP, Shift_JIS, and ISO-2022-JP encodings.  I am using EUC-JP mode
now.  Tera Term is a very popular telnet client for Windows in Japan.
Macintosh also has a NCSA Telnet Japanese Version, which supports 
these Japanese encodings.
