- Quite correct. I don't beleive that you can get an 8bit clean connection with
- either tip or cu. (I'm in need of such a thing, but for an AT&T SYSV3R2, which
- means I need the sources...) This is what you need to pass binaries. Because
- the US people never needed more than ASCII, just about everything in the unix
- world are 7bits (grrr). (There are exceptions, I know, but they're often
- buggy.)

- I'm not too familiar with the principles of tip, but with cu this is possible.
- Note though, that the password will be plain text!
