Please remember to indicate what release you are talking about, and
provide more historical and environmental information.

We have been using Ultrix 1.1 on a 750, and have made uucp connections
to various machines and flaovers of unix without running into any parity
related problems.  So, are you talking about a new Ultrix 1.2 problem, or
do you have some other kind of problem?
