hey guys,

i'm trying to communicate with several devices over a serial port (actually its a sealevel card that pretends to be a serial port but thats not the point) and i'm setting it to:

baud rate: 2400
byte size: 8
parity: none
stop bit: 1

but when i sniff the port (while the program is running) i'm seeing its using a word length of 7! this device i'm communicating with (a demodulator) only speaks in word length of 8. so i cant use 7.

so the question is, basically, whats going on here?

thanks
