After several frustrating days of problems with a terminal server, I discovered
something.

Tip is setting the high bit of every character, even though I am setting
parity to none.  (There seems to be no entry in /etc/remote for character
size; why?)  My Ultrix system doesn't do this.  Does anyone know anything
about this?

Thanks

Eric
