That is the reason for it, and yes I could hack up my own termcap (this has been suggested by several people), but I don't want to have to. It really bugs me that such an otherwise fine package is marred by such a little problem. Telix supports adapters so well, with snow testing and such, why can't it handle this case without special handling. For now, I'll stick with what I am using. In another vein, I have used Telix a few times for 8n1 transfers, on different systems, with ZMODEM, XMODEM, and KERMIT, and have had no trouble (version 3.11...)
