Is there a way to set word length, stop bits, and parity for the standard
serial port device SER:?  I'm not quite sure what my terminal is expecting
(it's an NCR 796-101), but whatever it is, the Amiga isn't sending it!
The baud rate works fine, but half of the letters (with the wrong parity
setting) get displayed as error codes.  I remember a long time ago someone
mentioned a SETSERIAL program, but of course that was not distributed with
the machine.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
