When I went to HDB I expected them to have a way to set the parity used to call, but it doesn't seem to. Ultrix uucp has a set of pseudo-values you can put in the L.sys script to set parity (P_ZERO, P_EVEN, P_ODD) which solves the problem. If there's a trick to do this, please someone mention it. I did 'strings' on HDB UUCICO and didn't find anything which looked like a control. -- bill davidsen (wedu@crd.GE.COM) {uunet | philabs}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
