  I am trying to use Red Ryder to communicate with my favorite UNIX
tools (Miranda, ML and the Cornell Program Synthesizer) in something
other than vanilla ASCII.  To do so, I have created a font with all the
usual ASCII symbols in their usual places, but with the "upper half" of
the font filled with the symbols I want (Greek letters, algebraic
operations, quantifiers and such like).  With minor problems (a screen
update / leading problem) this works fine for Red Ryder--I even have the
information on how to get my local network to properly transmit 8 bit
codes, etc.

  The problem comes in on the UNIX end: I cannot get the proper settings
of communications modes ("raw", "cooked", etc.) under 4.3 BSD to send
8-bit codes without the connection dying miserably.  Any ideas on the
necessary tweakings of the (multitude of) parameters?  I am no
communications protocol hacker, so be gentle ...

  If I have any success, I will post a summary to the net.
