- How are you connecting to the Sun machine? On our system, you connect
- to dial-up machines by way of termninal servers. The terminal servers
- recognize control and break characters, so only seven-bit transfer
- protocols work in the default state. On other machines, the servers
- make a default connection at 7-bits-even-parity.
-
- X-, y-, and z-modem are all eight-bit protocals, and Kermit is
- a 7-bit protocal. If many users have this problem, something along
- the way is only allowing 7 bits.
-
- All of our servers have commands to enable 8-bit data transfer...
- on one it is "set session passall;" on another it is something like
- "set terminal bits 8." Talk to your site's network admin.
