Ah.. The age old question.. It's really quite simple, once you know the
answer anyways.. I found it by searching thru tip source, but that doesn't
really matter, I wouldn't put you through that! ;)  Try this next time..

1) tip to your modem.
2) run the "stty cs8 -parenb -istrip" on the remote end.
3) immediately (don't type ANYTHING else), type "~sparity=none".
4) Your in N81.  Or should be..  Works for me!

Neither.  The both \SUPPORT/ 8 bit chars just fine, it's just getting them
into that mode that is the problem.. <G>
