I tried LLITOUT, it sends 7 bits with even parity on my SUN. More importantly, what complete set of flag bits and local mode bits did you use? Rather than have a reasonable stty (Like System V) where bits in the flags essentially control options independent of each other, 4.2 BSD gives you a hodgepodge of bits which interact.
