I can't seem to communicate to any external device which runs with 8 data bits. There seem to be a lot of BBS's out there running at 8 data bits. I can connect fine to other 7 bit UNIX machines. What I've been trying to do is something like: (stty cs8>/dev/ttyb;tip) or (stty cs8>/dev/ttyb;kermit) What I don't know in the case of tip is whether it resets the data bit settings on the port. (I'm guessing that it does). Short of writing my own terminal driver program, is there any way to get this to work. Oh yeah, the other thing I'd like to to is be able to drop out of tip and run xmodem. For some reason, once I get into tip and connect, I can never get back out. I use ~~~^D, but tip just sends those characters out the port. Any ideas ? jaz@calvin.icd.ab.com
