I am arranging to get a news feed from a machine which only speaks 7-bit
words. Only incoming connections to this machine are allowed. I know that
I could change the gettydefs entry to allow for 7 bit, even parity if
they allowed outgoing calls, but they don't.
Does anyone know how to set up uucp/uucico to render 7 bit outgoing connections?
Thanks.

Sorry, but the standard SCO-UUCP only supports the so called 'g' protocol,
which won't run on 7bit paths.
Two solutions:
a) Find out, WHY you can use only 7 bits (are you using an X.25 line ?)
and fix or bypass it ...
b) Get the source of HDB-UUCP or BSD-UUCP from "anwhere" ...
Both include either the 'f' or 'k' protocol, which will work
fine even on 7 bit paths.
Feeling with you,
