This may be a repost - but I think my previous question did not make it to
the net.

I am a very happy and satisfied user of the latest release of kermit for the 
CBM 8-bit family, however I still have a problem: I can't set parity.

I have numerous software packages that I use to telecommute all over,
but a frequent requirement I have is setting parity, usually EVEN parity.

At one point I even doctored Frank Prindle's TERM80 to use even parity, but
I would rather use a more featured package - I would rather use KERMIT.
But the problem is I can find no permutation among the settings offered that
works.  Nulls, word size, parity  - all these are settable, yet every
variation seems to yield nothing but garbage.  This is using 300 and 1200
baud.

So - as I see I am not the only Kermit user on the net - is there any recourse?
Thanks - I look forward to insightful answers.
