If I login to his system (FreeBSD 1.1) and use either my OS/2 comm pkg-LiveWire 2.2 or my Linux one-Minicom 1.60 I either get the login screen to be garbled (mixed between being backwards and no enough letters) under 7E1 but I enter the correct info and execute a command and all is well or I get a good login screen but I try to execute a command and the screen is garbled under 8N1. Also, I'm not able to respond to any newsgroup using PICO (v2.5?). All I can do is go across 1 line, but can't move the cursor down and some letters are coming out as other characters. I can access other provider with my setup without problems so we figure maybe something on his end? We've been working on this for over a week, but we're both fairly new to this. Any suggestions or recommendations? TIA, Wayne WARP WARRIOR & LINUX LOVER 1) Check the startup scripts for stty commands. The following files are among the suspect: /etc/profile /etc/cshrc /etc/login $HOME/.login $HOME/.cshrc $HOME/.profile $HOME/.bash_profile $HOME/.bashrc look for "stty parity" or "stty cs7" probably others. 2) Examine /etc/ttys and /etc/gettytab and see if there are any commands to shift the parity settings around. 3) If all else fails stick a "stty crt pass8 -parity" in your startup script.
