With the Unix PC's standard cu command, the ~%nostop command will enable
completely transparent 8-bit transmission.  I think this might have been
an unintentional feature, but it works for me.  Remember that ~%nostop
will, of course, also perform its documented function of turning off
XON/XOFF flow control.  This is probably what you want with emacs anyway.
