Hello,

	I have a HP 9000 Series 822 running HP-UX 7.0, with the standard
UUCP package.  I am trying to send mail via USR Courier 9600s to a
TI-1500 multiuser system running a System V-compatible Unix (also with
USR 9600's.
Their ports are configured to be odd parity, while my ports are configured
to no parity.  

     The system being called identifies itself with odd parity, which
seems to be misunderstood by my system.  The calling system eventually
times out and gives up.  The debug information UUCP provides shows
garbage (actually 7 bit characters with odd parity) where the machine
name should be, which my machine cannot interpret.  Because of this,
my UUCP never recognizes that it has made a connection with the
correct machine.

     My system needs to stay at no parity -- we communicate with other
systems, using the same modems and UUCP parameters, and have no
difficulty whatsoever.

	Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


	Please respond via E-mail directly.
