One reason it matters is that the default terminal mode is what Telix
uses when it sends out the modem initialization string.  A mode of "N71"
is likely to fail pretty badly.

There is indeed a bug in Telix 3.11 which causes a default parity set-
ting of SPACE to be forgotten and replaced by NONE.  (EVEN or ODD works,
however.)

A workaround for this problem would be to use a default terminal mode of
"N81" instead of "S71".
