Here are more responses I received to the following question: (Thanks for the help!) /* ---------- "How set parity for cu ?" ---------- */ A friend of mine has a Radio Shack computer on which he runs Xenix. He is trying to use cu to logon to the mainframe computer at his school. The mainframe wants even parity, and he says that he is unable to get Xenix to generate even parity and is thus unable to logon. Unfortunately, I don't have any more details. Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. Please reply directly to me or at least cc directly to me as I seldom read these newsgroups. /* End of text */ From cc1%locus.ucla.edu@CSNET-RELAY Thu Oct 10 01:43:04 1985 This caused me trouble for a while, but: The manual is incorrect in tty(4). The correct result it IF (EVEN & ODD) generate no parity ELSE generate specified parity So, stty -odd will reset ODD, and even parity is generated. You can even generate ODD parity (but why?) in the same way. Michael Gersten From cc1%locus.ucla.edu@CSNET-RELAY Thu Oct 17 13:16:57 1985 The closest correct answer is from the Tandy systems software (incidently, I like that address info); the actual correct answer is ~$stty -odd. By default even and odd are set; setting even will not help. Incidently, you CAN change the speed that way. I've done it.
