Problem
          After upgrading SCO UnixWare, my terminal behavior has become 
          erratic.  This may include anything from no response to 
          keystrokes to the sessions being disconnected after a few seconds.

CAUSE:
          SCO UnixWare is configured to use 7 character bits and even parity.
          If the remote connection is configured to use 8 character bits 
          and no parity, the systems will not be able to synchronize with
          each other. 


Solution
          You must be logged in as root or as the system owner.  The default 
          configuration for the SCO UnixWare system can be changed by editing 
          the Config file in /usr/lib/uucp. 

          Change directories to /usr/lib/uucp.  Using your favorite text
          editor, edit the file "Config".  Toward the bottom of the file
          you will see an entry similar to the following:

             PARITY=even
             CHARSIZE=7

          Change these entries to the following:

             PARITY=none
             CHARSIZE=8

          If you are connecting to a remote system and aren't certain as
          to its configuration, contact that system's System Administrator 
          to find out the configuration of their connection before altering 
          your system's configuration.
