Could be.  Since parity always was rather silly it isn't normally used; I'm 
surprised DEC didn't delete it from Ultrix the way they did for all the other 
operating systems.

If you have a real terminal you can configure it for 7 bits and the matching 
parity, but terminal emulators may not have that ability.  In any case, for 
that the simh command for 7 bit terminal output is a simple fix.
