Hello NeXTers:

I have a situation here that I am fairly certain must be solveable (I hope  
so:-)).  We regularly need to telnet to a site that only comprehends seven  
bit communications.  Since telnet is an 8 bit communication, the terminal  
only reports unintelligible rubbish when connecting to this site.

What I need to do is either configure telnet or set up the terminal so  
that the high bit is stripped or the entire communications runs as 7-e  
communications.  Can anyone provide an explanation as to how I can manage  
this?  the application we need to telnet to successfully is one of crucial  
importance to our organization--thus, any help is really appreciated.

BTW, I searched many manual entries, such as stty and telnet but could not  
find the exact element I needed.  I also searched termcap with no luck  
either, so i have least tried and tired.

thanks and regards-
Joe
