When I stat it, it reports that it's changed, but it really hasn't. Tried another flag, istrip, but that doesn't do anything. My original guess was that </dev/com2 only controls stdin, so I tried >/dev/com2 to change stdout. Still no go. I have Seyon running in X and that seems to switch parities and byte length fine.
