Paul,

I believe that Deskmate strips the high order bit (the 8th bit) out of what is
being sent to the display so that loging in at 8N1 makes it appear that
everything is kosher.

If I remember right (and if I don't you can be sure that someone will be here
to set me straight) OS-9's drivers don't have the capability to switch from 7E1
to 8N1 on the fly, once connection has been made.  Thus, switching is a process
of closing the previously open path, changing the parameters, and then
reopening the path.... quite a lot to get done.  Like I said.. if I'm wrong,
someone'll hit me upside the head with the correct info (and I do sometimes get
confused about which computer I'm using at the time).

Wayne
