    (Posting non-ASCII characters to Usenet and expecting other people to
    see what you see is inadvisable, for more or less the same reasons that
    you're having trouble with PuTTY in the first place...)

    What I see in your post is:
      "Inst" A-tilde ampersand hash two nine eight semicolon "llningscentralen"

    Is that really what you see on your screen? If so, then something other
    than PuTTY is involved; PuTTY won't spontaneously generate HTML-ish
    escapes.

    Have you tried UTF-8 translation? This is a multibyte encoding commonly
    expected by many recent Linux distributions. If you're seeing multiple
    characters where you expected one, it's likely that you need UTF-8.
