   I have a question about HDB uucp:

   In line.c, inside the routine fixline(), there is the following line:

        ttbuf.c_cflag = speed; 

   What this is doing is configuring the line for dialout. Should the '='
   be '|=' instead ? It seems the '=' assignment will cause the other tty
   attributes ( namely, PARENB and PARODD ) be cleared. What will happen
   when we are dialing to a system that is using parity ? 

   How does uucp in general, deal with the 8th bit ? Where is it doing that?


   Any idea on this is appreicated.
