- The Amiga serial port hardware does not support a 7N1 framing. This
- isn't well documented, and Serial Prefs. doesn't complain when you set
- it.
-
- You must specify a frame with at least 10 bits, including the start bit,
- such as 7E1, or 7S1 (perhaps even 7N2.) 7N1 only has 9 bits total. Of
- course it has to match the setting on the other end (to a certain
- extent.)
-
- Sorry, I don't know much about Term, except that from what I read it
- crashes alot.
