I have been able to set up my modem (MultiModem 224E) on port A, by fabricating a cable and modifying the /etc/ttys file. The only problem left is that when I first login the port is set to 7 bit. This works if I set my terminal to vt100 mode, but not with vt200 mode. Once in I can use the stty pass8 command to configure the port correctly. Is there any to permanently set this port this way? Please respond to m@jacobi.biology.yale.edu Thanks in advance, Mark J. McCallum

The manual page for gettytab(5) says: Output from getty is even parity unless op is specified. Op may be specified with ap to allow any parity on input, but generate odd parity output. Note: this only applies while getty is being run, terminal driver limitations prevent a more complete implementation. Getty does not check parity of input characters in RAW mode. I think you need a better getty. -=EPS=- (Terminal driver limitations? What a pile of ...)
