Here's one for the UUCP wizards (apologies if it should be a FAQ):

I'm running SCO Unix 3.2.1 (aka ODT_OS), and have successfully
set up a uucp link to the sco machine.  I'm now trying to set up a
link to nwnexus, which will be my primary net gateway.

The sco machines all expect 8 bits of data with no parity.  The 
nwnexus machine expects 7 bits, even parity.  My problem is that
I only have one modem and one serial port. 

So, I need to reconfigure the serial port for the two different
machines (as an aside, I've confirmed this behavior by using "cu"
and "cu -oe".  "cu" works for sco and NOT for nwnexus, and "cu -oe"
works for nwnexus and NOT for sco).

Can anyone tell me how to do this from within a BNU "Dialer" entry.
(I suspect I could use stty on the port before each call, but
that would be cumbersome at best).  Also, since I don't have the
development system, recompiling dialTBIT is not an option (yet).

Thanks!
