Our current network standard says that ASCII tubes should be set for
7 bit Even parity.  The VAX & TCP/IP folks are pushing for a
policy/standards change to 8 bit none for ASCII tubes on our campus.  We
are running VM/XA SF2, VM/HPO 5.0 and MVS/XA 2.2 supporting 3270-type
access via 7171's and line-mode access via 37x5 EP.  I understand how to
change the 7171's from 7 Even to 8 None, but what implications are there
for the line-mode access? Any pilgrams already done this? Any drawbacks?
