Parity problems

I ran into a problem recently calling systems with 7/1/E
parameters. Our system is set up 8/1/N, and for the most part
this works fine. Once in a while, however, we get the parity
bits on the 7/1/E machines fouling up the works.
I could easily change to 7/1/E, I suppose (haven't tried it, but
assume that /etc/gettydefs is the place to put that?). But the
question arises: will I have trouble talking to machines (with
whom I have previously had no problems) who are set up for
8/1/N? Based on my experience so far, I would guess the answer
is 'yes'.
So how do I handle this? Is there any way to set things up to
automatically shift? I have examined 'dial' and I think it
doesn't have the means to set the parity/word length of the
device. The cu(1) program seems to offer this, but is there
doesn't seem to be such an option for uucico (or its supers).
All ideas welcome: if you will e-mail me, I will summarize if it
seems appropriate.
