[comp.os.cpm] Kaypro 10 and Even Parity

m1tca00@macs2.FRB.GOV (Thomas C. Allard) (08/16/90)

Can anyone tell me how to set even parity on a Kaypro with a Incomm 2400
baud modem.  I'm running Mex+ and when I use the set parity even command
I can no longer talk to the modem port.  I suspect that this is merely
changing the way which Mex talks to the port but not the port itself. 
When I log onto the fed's netserver at no parity (it expects even) I can
still send SOME characters but half are filtered.  I can send most of
the alphabet (half uppercase, the rest lower).  I'd tell the server to
set no parity, but the equal sign is blocked.  When I use Mex+ to set
even parity I can't even issue an AT command and switching after the
connection doesn't help either.

Try QTERM. The Kaypro patch has been checked extensively, and does the
right thing when it comes to messing with the baud rate and comm mode.

If you want a copy, it's available on the server here: put the following
lines in mail sent to pallio!rna (rna%pallio.uucp@xait.xerox.com)

/send help to your_address
/send index to your_address

that will get sone info on the server, and this line

/send qterm to your_address

will send a copy of qterm. Note that in all cases, 'your_address' should be
replaced by either a bang path from a backbone site, or an Internet style
address (user@host.domain). If you need the kaypro patch, I can send that
out, but the general collection of patches isn't available yet since I'm
still upgrading some from the V4.1e days.
