This may be more of a Vxworks question than an Epics question
but I figured the expertise would be found in this group.

I have two serial devices to control.  These devices are configured:

Baud: 9600
Bits per character: 1 start, 7 data, 1 parity, 1 stop
parity type: odd

I am presently using a IP Octal Serial card from greenspring
to accomodate the serial devices.  However the serial lines on
this card default to 9600 baud, 8 data bits no parity....

I've looked in to the Vxworks tyLib package and can only find 
function calls to change the baud rate, and another OPT_7_BIT which
I think will place the port in 7 data bit mode. 

What I cannot find is a way to put the port in parity=odd and
to look for 1 stop bit.  

Has anyone ever configured a IP octal serial line?? 
And if so could they send me a copy/example of their code?

Thanks,

Arne
