	I have been trying to get my tty01 comm port to work as a dialup line.
It functions perfectly for outgoing connections, but it doesn't seem to work 
as 8 bit clean for dialup.

	I have installed a patch which I got off the net and the handshaking
seems to work better. The patch said to build a new kernal and recompile 
getty which I have done. I now have a tty01 and a cua01 but still no 8 bit
clean dialup. Does anyone have any suggestions for me on how to get a working
8 bit clean dialup port? Do I have to make a new gettytab entry ?  I have 
made one for 38400 but I wasn't quite sure of what to put in there for parity
(since I want none) and how to tell it 8 bits.

					Thanks in advance,
