I'm using telnet from a 7.0 300 to a 7.0 800 to respond to this note. I just did a shell escape on the remote and had no problem creating an 8-bit file. The probable culprit is that your 'termio' settings on either your local or remote system aren't set to allow 8-bit. Locally, and then telnet'd, perform an 'stty -a'. You should get something like... -------------------------------------------------------------------------- speed 9600 baud; line = 0; susp ; dsusp intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^H; kill = ^U; swtch eof = ^D; eol = ^@; min = 4; time = 0; stop = ^S; start = ^Q -parenb -parodd cs8 -cstopb hupcl cread -clocal -loblk -crts ^^^^^^^ ^^^ -ignbrk -brkint -ignpar -parmrk -inpck -istrip -inlcr -igncr icrnl -iuclc ^^^^^^ ixon -ixany -ixoff -ienqak isig icanon iexten -xcase echo echoe -echok -echonl -noflsh opost -olcuc onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -ofill -ofdel -tostop -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The "^^^^^" marked flags must be set as shown to allow 8-bit mode.
