  From what I can tell (Welmat can dump all the characters in hex
that it receives after answering the phone, but before recognising a session)
the characters ARE being sent with parity. Aside from fixing Welmat
so that it strips the parity on some characters (Fidonet sync 
characters have the high bit set, so I wasn't striping the characters)
how can I change this behaviour of uucico?
  I haven't got the Sun sysadmin manuals, and I don't recall seeing
anything in the AT&T HDB manuals about this. What has Sun changed?
