No, that is not true.
I'd like to stress that cp1251 is a non-latin coding system. Even if
you terminal supports only ASCII, then you probably can read French or
German or Spanish, etc, as most of the characters are basic latin.
But try to use the command `iconv -tebcdic-us' in order to recode some
English text to EBCDIC. Then you will understand better the
difference between the Latin and the non-Latin cp125N coding systems.
