Message-ID: <1994Dec2.221018.27726@palantir.p.tvt.se> Sender: news@palantir.p.tvt.se (News account) Organization: Swedish Telecom X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL4 Date: Fri, 2 Dec 1994 22:10:18 GMT Lines: 27 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. -- Paul Pries paul@pp2.smc.south.telia.se
