Smells like a parity problem to me!  Somebody is checking parity on
input and discarding characters with "bad" parity.  I switched over 
to Ultrix 3.0 last nite and have already had some complaints about
kermit/xmodem/ymodem being broken, though uucp seems to be working
just fine.  One might suspect that something has been "improved"
in "raw" or "cbreak" mode input processing.

Did you get to the bottom of this?  What is Olivers Screen program?
