That's what I thought the OP was doing; it sounds like he's trying to = receive 7M1 in Minicom using 8N1 on the terminal and getting garbled = data because the high bit is set (because the other end is sending 7M1). = I never meant to imply that 8N1 would give garbled data if both ends = were set to it; indeed, that's pretty much standard communications = settings for short cables in low to moderate noise environments. If = anyone else read it that way, that's not what I meant. :-) - Dave
