 Hi guys,

Anyone got an idea about the problem of getting 8-bit clean connections 
in FreeBSD-2.0 ?

I usually use the ISO_8859-1 charset, as it contains the letters of my
local language (swedish), and in FreeBSD-1.1.5.1 (and before that) it
worked like a charm. In 2.0R it doesn't. SIgh.

Locally it works, both in X and in terminalmode, but as soon as i dial 
my other FreeBSD box (running 1.1.5.1), nada, zip, nul.
It gets stripped to 7-bits somewhere on the line. I checked all ttys
with "stty -af <device>" and all say cs8, -istrip and so on.

This really is beginning to get on my nerves, I invested a good chunk 
of time (and a lot of pints ;-)) in it, but I just can't seem to get it
right.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
	Paul.
