You might try stripping the high bit off the 8N1 setting in the
Alt-O menu.  You also might try editing the telix.cnf file for data=8,
parity="N" and stop=1 to 7, E, and 1, respectively.  I take it that
using the 'A' option in the Alt-O menu doesn't work?  When you finish
changing parameters, you have the option to save your settings.

A familiar and annoying problem.  Yes, there is in fact something
you are not doing.  Alt-P is not for permanent changes of the
parameters.  Use alt-O Terminal Options for that.
