In some situations, you have to reset the parity because the system that you are calling checks port parity and drops the line if it is wrong. The expect-send couplet "" P_ZERO sets the high-order bit (parity bit) to 0. For example:
System-Name Time Type Speed Phone Chat Script unix Any ACU 2400 12015551212 "" P_ZERO "" \r login:-\r-login:-\r-login: nuucp password: xxx |
In the same manner, P_EVEN sets parity to even (the default), P_ODD sets odd parity, and P_ONE sets the parity bit to 1.
The parity couplet can be inserted anywhere in the chat-script. The couplet applies to all information in the chat-script that follows the "" P_ZERO. The couplet can also be used in entries in the Dialers file.
