   Oh, wait. That code _should_ work. Even if NET's output contains a character   
   which is not within code page 1251's character set, the character will be   
   converted to `?`. Everything else should be converted properly.   
      
   Can you post the actual text output (not screenshot) of that NET command?

   Anything which can convert between character sets, can be used. It'll be   
   required for manual conversion or as a fallback when something doesn't work.
