When I try to type (or transmit in any way, including Kermit in 8-bit mode) any character with high bit 1, it gets transformed into a null (it doesn't simply zero the high bit). This doesn't happen if I log in from the console, or via rlogin, nor does it depend on stty settings: exactly same settings (compared with diff) work on the console, but after just "telnet " the 8-bit characters no longer work. (The problem does not occur with series 800 machines.) Is there something I could be doing wrong? Something I could try? -- Tapani Tarvainen (tarvaine@jyu.fi, tarvainen@finjyu.bitnet)
