Mex has a related 8 bit problem.

If I am connected to a 7 data bit, even parity host, such as Xerox's own
PARCVAX, I cannot use XMODEM transfers unless I manually reset MEX to 8
bits, no parity.  I have this problem in the PC version of MEX.  I
suspect, but don't know for sure, if this limitation is also present in
CP/M MEX.  

This one deserves a patch.  (Editorial:  That's the trouble with
software provided without source code distribution.)
