i WISH i could shed some light on this problem, but all i have is more
darkness.  i'm still having the same problems, cause i can't seem to
set my tty port to no parity...

i used....stty -parity cs8, which gives me even parity, 8 bits (i
THINK).  of course the tech support here claims that i can't use
zmodem (an 8 bit protocol) with our broadband modems, (which he says
are limited to 7 bit).

help me help me please....does somebody know how to use stty to set no
parity?  will it not make a difference if my tech-guy is right?

anybody know of a 7 bit version of zmodem?

anybody know of a way to make kermit go faster??? (yeah right)

thanx in advance...		Darryl Lee
