Many sites are calling MHSnet nodes via Annex terminal servers using
"cooked" mode (escaping 8-bit bytes to use 7-bit printing chars)
-- as the default circuits provided by Annex servers usually attempt
to interpret the data stream.

Thanks to some detective work by George Michaelson of UQ, it appears
relatively easy to get 8-bit RAW circuits through Annex terminal
servers to UNIX hosts, *without* the UNIX administrator having to
reconfigure anything in the Annex (a horrible task :-).

Sites calling via Annex terminal servers merely need to add the
following sequence to their MHSnet call-script before using the
Annex "connect" command to get to the UNIX host:

	write "stty attn none -imask7 break\r";
