We observed a similar problem, when talking via PSI to machines
which send 8 bit ASCII characters

The PAD sees all characters as 8bit characters and does not accept parity.
The extra CR/LF sequences are added by PAD because the PAD WRAP parameter
is set to 126 causing an extra CR/LF sequence to be added every 126
characters. To avoid this switch PAD WRAP parameter off by setting it
to 0.

DEC considders additions to PAD for a future release of PSI which will
allow the top bit of 8 bit characters to be stripped and thus be
correctly interpeted by PAD
