Is there any way to tell the /dev/tty00 driver to set the 8th bit of
characters to 0? (i.e., to use space parity.) Doing 

stty istrip >/dev/tty00 

doesn't seem to do anything. ( My problem is that I am communicating with
a remote getty that is running under an 8-bit clean line discipline, which
is necessary for reasons I'd rather not get into here. The remote getty is
interpreting everything I send it -- using chat -- as garbage, and the only
thing I can figure is that it's a parity problem.)
