I'd be interested to see any responses summarized to the net, as I've recently hit the same problem. Some Motorola radio equipment I have to interface to uses 8 data bits and even parity, and I could not convince my Sony 1750 to talk to it. In the system installation the Motorola equipment will be connected via a Xylogics Annex, and I've managed to get the Annex to talk 8E1, so my problem is solved for now. But as far as I could see there was no way to get the Sony (it's Unix is what I'd call a Sony port of 4.3BSD-Tahoe) to talk 8E1. 8N1 or 7E1 yes, 8E1 no. _______________________________________________________________________ David Burren (Wookie Athos) Work: david@bacchus.esa.oz.au Software Development Engineer Home: athos%eyrie@labtam.oz.au Expert Solutions Australia School: s872007@otto.rmit.oz.au
