Actually it's in command mode that you *do* care about parity, which is why I
added the parity detection in the first place. Without the parity detection
there's no way for the modem to send back the command responses with the
correct parity. That made it cumbersome to use tcpser when using terminals or
communications software that insist on using even/odd/mark parity and would
drop any characters that had the wrong parity.
And, as I noted to Chris, I think it actually makes sense to convert all
the time, so that a 7E1 device that is trying to connect to the Internet
can do so with a minimum of hassle. If parity is stripped on both sides
(C64 to tcpser to Internet to tcpser to 64, for example) and replaced
when needed for the local classic machine, I think that's the best scenario.
