    Does anyone know how Tone-LOC did automatic Parity conversion?
    
    I started writing a War Dialler in Perl for Unix/Linux that would simply
    take a list of numbers and dial them, recording the banners, and doing a bit
    of prompting to stimulate banners if none were forthcoming. But one of the
    things that I have no idea how to do is the "Automatic Parity conversion"
    that Tone-LOC did, when connecting to a different parity modem.
    
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    
    Re the prompting, one of the most common "Silent" modems seems to be Windows
    NT RAS. This sits there until you give it a particular string.  I am
    intending to capture the initial string using PortMon, and replay it blindly
    whenever I get no initial characters. That should help identify a number of
    systems, I think.
