Most communications programs will strip the parity bit from the characters received individually before putting them on the screen or checking them against special characters. It is not usually practical to do this is basic. What you normally want for any kind of terminal is to read 7 data bits, and ignore the parity bit, but I dont remember offhand whether that is one of the basica options. there may also be a telenet pad command to set the parity and number of databits desired, but I dont know what it would be offhand.
