Why does kermit under Sun OS 3.x, 4.x demand even parity?

I have rebuilt kermit from the sources and also used an older version
obtained from somewhere or other.  In doing binary transfers, I always
have to set the parity to EVEN.  This is despite running the connection
thorough two Telebit Trailblazer + with Kermit emulation turned on in the
"no parity" mode.  The local Trailblazer gurus can't figure it out and
have given up.

Versions:

theory:~[294]: wermit
C-Kermit, 4F(095) 31 Aug 89, SUNOS 4.x

Please respond by e-mail; if there is interest I will summarize.
