I have an SCO xenix 2.3.2 machine and have the need to adjust the port characteristics on an outgoing "cu" connection for this one _particular_ machine I need access to. I need to set "ISTRIP" in particular. The method for doing this on my sun does not work on SCO xenix, and I have been able to locate any relevant info in my SCO documentation. If someone could point me in the right direction I would be much obliged. Thanks Michael -- Michael E.

I need to set "ISTRIP" in particular. A quote from the Holy Tome: In addition, cu uses the following options to determine communications settings: -o If the remote system expects or sends 7-bit with odd parity -e If the remote system expects or sends 7-bit with even parity -oe If the remote system expects or sends 7-bit, ignoring parity and sends 7-bit with either parity By default, cu expects and sends 8-bit characters without parity. If the login prompt received appears to contain incorrect 8-bit characters, or a correct login is rejected, use the 7-bit options described above. So, in this case, use -oe. Works fine, lasts a long time. -- Michael Stefanik, MGI Inc, Los Angeles | Opinions stated are never realistic Title of the week: Systems Engineer | UUCP: ...!uunet!bria!mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If MS-DOS didn't exist, who would UNIX programmers have to make fun of?
