We are considering getting an HP Laserjet to attach to a VAX 11/780
running 4.2BSD.  We would like to use the serial (RS-232) interface.
The problem is that the Laserjet must have 8 data bits, and the tty
driver uses only 7 data bits.  I see no way to set the number of 
data bits on a line with stty(1) or gettytab(5).  I have seen many
references to the Laserjet being used on a VAX, how are they being
connected?
