Be certain you have an 8-bit communication path between your machine
and the VAX and Sun.  I have it working fine here on a VAX-11/785
running 4.3BSD and Suns running SunOS 3.4.  Nothing fancy needed.

Please make it an option -- I don't want to spend that much memory for
a seperate screen for each window.  (Well, I don't plan to run UW
anyway, so do what you want! :-) )

PS: Sure would be nice if someone made an option in Dnet to encode
8-bit data into 7-bit bytes for those people without 8-bit channels...
