Thanks to several e-mail responses, I attempted the obvious suggestion to use
7 bits Even parity as opposed to 8 bits No parity and it worked!  I've had to
do this in other applications before but somehow, I assumed it didn't apply
here.  Anyway, I'm glad it works now.  Thanks again to all of you who responded.

Now, if I can only speed up my Mac Plus at home which now seems to be the
bottleneck despite the 19200 baud rate.  Still, it must have something to
do with software a bit, because White Knight at vt100 emulation seems to
fly comparatively...  Any enlightening follow-up comments anyone?
