Hi!  I've been using 386bsd for a while now, and had been using my modem on
com1 to call up places.  Never had a problem.  To install XFree86 I moved
my modem to com2 and put a mouse on com1.  To make tip work with the new
setup, I edited the /etc/remote file and put an entry for com2 in.  But now
it seems that com2 is permanently stuck in 7 bit mode.  I've read the man
pages for stty a zillion times and have tried all the flags, but I can't
pull com2 into 8 bits.  What should I do?

Thanks.
