[comp.misc] Annex CLI Query

lee@chsun1.uchicago.edu (dwight lee) (09/14/90)

I sometimes use a Xylogics Annex CLI to access the network.  Every time I use
it to rlogin to another site, however, I seem to only get a 7-bit connection.
I really want an 8-bit connection, but the rlogin command from the CLI has
no -8 switch.

The lab assistants where the Annex CLI is located have been unable to locate
any information about setting terminal parameters (they're used to MVS and
VM/CMS, evidently).  My intuition tells me that there's probably a way to do
it using the stty command.

If you have any experience in using the Annex CLI to set up 8-bit connections,
please post or mail me.  Thanks very very much!

Annex stat and stty output provided below for reference:
