I have been trying to use the Annex ports in slave mode, using rtelnet and
getty on our MIPS machine to simulate a normal unix login.

However, there are two major problems:

1)      The Annex pays no attention to DCD if dropped by the modem, nor does
	it lower DTR if the user signs off.

2)      Parity is messed up, in both slave and CLI modes.  This is especially
	strange, since I can talk to CLI, and then telnet to any machine
	other than a MIPS, and it works fine.

Does anybody else use an Annex with a MIPS?  I think I have tried every
reasonable permutation of options on the Annex, our modems, and in
/etc/gettydefs.

Details:	Annex II, software R5.0.3 (I think)
		MIPS M/2000, RISC/os 4.50
