I have an unusual problem, which I am hoping some NeXTGuru and  
Internet/Telecommunications expert might have some insight into.

I work at a University Law Library, where we use the internet for many  
things.  One of our vendors, mead Data central, the creator of Lexis, has  
an unusual telecommunications system situation.  When we telnet to the  
site on ANY platform, without using emulation software not available for  
the NeXT, we get a screen full of garbage.  I have discovered that the  
reason for this garbage is that Lexis expects to see a 7-e-1  
communications setup and the telnet session is eight bits.

The problem is whether this can be somehow patched or configured into my  
NeXT telnet session, so that it appears or IS running as a 7-e-1 setup  
over internet telnet.  Can this be done?  any advice is appreciated.

thanks and regards-
Joe
