All our 220s here are in 220 mode, here's the output of 'stty everything'
if it helps, the set-up we use is VT200 MODE, 7 BIT CONTROLS

new tty, speed 9600 baud
even odd -raw -nl echo -lcase -tandem tabs -cbreak 
crt: (crtbs crterase crtkill ctlecho) -tostop 
-tilde -flusho -mdmbuf -litout -nohang 
-pendin decctlq -noflsh 
erase  kill   werase rprnt  flush  lnext  susp   intr   quit   stop   eof
^?     ^U     ^W     ^R     ^O     ^V     ^Z/^Y  ^C     ^\     ^S/^Q  ^D     

works fine, if you need the termcap entries or whatever tell me.

It is important that you set the 220 to 7 BITS, MARK PARITY or 7 BITS,
SPACE PARITY, or one of the "no check" modes (I don't THINK it makes a
difference which one of these four you use ....).  BTW, when you do
this, how are you going to use ESC (C-[ works, but ugh!).
