"The modes 7M1 (7 data bits, MARK parity, 1 stop bit) and 7S1 (7 data
bits, SPACE parity, 1 stop bit) can easily be emulated using 8N1 (0
data bits, NO parity, 1 stop bit) and setting the 8th data bit to 1
resp. 0. This is relatively simple to implement and cannot be
distinguished by the receiver."

It means that 7M1 === 8N1. Set 8N1 mode on your side and 7M1 on the
other side. I really do not understand what is the reason to have
dedicated 7M1 or 7S1 mode - it is no different from regular 8 bit mode
from the hardware point of view. From the software point of view it is
just the matter of the definition of the highest bit. In other words,
7M1/7S1 are two complementary subsets of a single 8N1 set.
