Most of our computers on campus use 7 data bits, one stop bit,
even parity (with the actual value of parity bit ignored).  I've
found that SPACE parity works properly on all of the systems,
while permitting kermit file transfers to function.  Note that
ProComm's kermit always seems to use 8th bit prefixing protocol,
contrary to the Kermit protocol document (which suggests a
handshaking operation take place to determine the appropriate
kermit mode).
