We've been trying to bring up Gosling's Emacs on our 4.2 system but
seem to be having problems with parity. I believe that Emacs will
interpret the parity bit as the meta bit, but that doesn't explain the
following bizarre behavoir we are getting. With the terminal in 
no parity mode,  typing any character that would have even parity causes
emacs to exit. With the terminal in odd parity mode, odd parity characters
would properly and even parity characters cause emacs to prompt:
do you really want to exit, some buffers have been changed. Last datum:
when I "stty raw", the same characters that exit emacs cause me the
system to log me out. Does anyone have any good ideas? (I am using a
Concept-100 through a VA3451 modem, two stops bits on both, if that matters.
Emacs seems to work fine with a Gigi and with an HP2645 not connected by
modem!)
