	I have tryed MacLayers, and like it very much.  The main problem
that I have is connecting to a sun in 8-bit.  All of our Unix systems are
set up on 7-1-E dial in lines.  I can connect to one of our VAX/VMS systems,
with 8-bit, but then when I rlogin to the Unix system to run layers, the
host window locks up.  I can open another window, but it locks as soon as I 
run VI.
	Is there a "define" in the source code that will allow me to get it
to send the encoded message back to my Mac using a 7-1-E setup?  I would hack
at the code, but I don't have the hours of time necessary for me to understand
all of that code!
	
Thanks for *any* ideas you have....
Bruce
