I tried LLITOUT, it sends 7 bits with even parity on my SUN.
More importantly, what complete set of flag bits and local mode
bits did you use?
Rather than have a reasonable stty (Like System V) where bits in the
flags essentially control options independent of each other, 4.2 BSD
gives you a hodgepodge of bits which interact.
