I've been trying to research the 'serial link is not 8-bit clean'
message below,
but haven't had any luck.  I recall this message as well, and know it
indicates a
problem, but can't find any info on it.  This is where you may want to
focus your 
efforts.  You might post this output to the ALE list as well. (I believe
you sent
this to me and not to list)  There may be some folks there that can
help.  If I find anything else on it, I'll forward it to you.  Sorry I
couldn't be more help.
