Did anyone already notice than you can't select 8 bits with even/odd
parity in the terminal application? When one tries to set 8 bits and then
even parity, Terminal resets bits to 7 and when you now select 8 bits
again, it resets parity to none. But the PC hardware can do 8 bits with
parity checking. 

Could someone at Microsoft please consider to remove that restriction in
the next version?

At the moment, this forces one of our clients to buy extra terminal
emulators for about a dozen or more machines just for some login
procedures or e-mail on a host.
