Case is important. That should be 'export LANG="en" (or "C").

I can't reproduce this here. Perhaps check to see what TERM is set to?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mfratoni]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 8.0 (Psyche)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mfratoni]$ echo $TERM
xterm
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mfratoni]$ ssh firestorm

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mfratoni]$ cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] mfratoni]$ echo $TERM
xterm

On the local 8.0 machine, man pages are a mess using a KDE Konsole, so I 
have an alias:
$ which man
alias man='env LANG="C" man'

When connected to the 7.1 machine, man pages have no problems at all.

The good news is that in the Pheobe3 Beta, man pages finally display 
correctly in a Konsole session. ;)
