A quote from the Holy Tome:

	In addition, cu uses the following options to determine communications
	settings:

	-o  If the remote system expects or sends 7-bit with odd parity
	-e  If the remote system expects or sends 7-bit with even parity
	-oe If the remote system expects or sends 7-bit, ignoring parity
	    and sends 7-bit with either parity

	By default, cu expects and sends 8-bit characters without parity.
	If the login prompt received appears to contain incorrect 8-bit
	characters, or a correct login is rejected, use the 7-bit options
	described above.

So, in this case, use -oe.  Works fine, lasts a long time.
