Not very well.  You can try something such as:

    open localhost
    ascii
    quote TYPE I

to fool the client and server to use different translations.
You can even select the two code pages with SBDATACONN (IIRC).
But line terminators are likely to be garbled, and you may
get invalid record lengths, etc.
