{} Does anyone know how to set up uucp/uucico to render 7 bit outgoing

Sorry, but the standard SCO-UUCP only supports the so called 'g' protocol,
which won't run on 7bit paths.

Two solutions:

a)	Find out, WHY you can use only 7 bits (are you using an X.25 line ?)
	and fix or bypass it ...
b)	Get the source of HDB-UUCP or BSD-UUCP from "anwhere" ...
	Both include either the 'f' or 'k' protocol, which will work
	fine even on 7 bit paths.

Feeling with you,
