	I do think 8 bits unhindered is worth a try.
	However; There's a lot of stuff that ought to
	be fixed up in the tty drivers, notably echoing.
	( I'd like a deferred mode as on TOPSXX, that is,
	Echo when read by requesting program. )
	
	This is not because of the 8 bit standard, which
	ought never have seen the light of day, but for
	general data transfer use.
