Xenix typically uses eight bits, no parity on dialup lines, and the
configuration you showed keeps that setup.  Most uucicos use 7 bits,
even parity by default.  Some can be configured to use zero parity
(which is equivalent for logging in with 7-bit ASCII characters) with
a string like "P_ZERO" in the L.sys file.  Worst case, you'll have to
pick characters for the remote systems password that have even parity
without setting the parity bit, and have him end his password with a
newline (\n) instead of a carriage return....

Good luck!
