Two reasonably easy ways.

1.  If your uucp supports 't' protocol (4.3, recent HoneyDanber)
    then you're all set.  L.sys lines look like this for 4.3:

2.  If you have an Annex terminal server it can be configured to
    pass all 8 bits with the magic string 'stty parity none bchar 8'.
    Then run 'g' protocol over the line and use 'rlogin' to sign on.
    Similar magic for ciscos is probably available.

One gotcha is embedding the space character into the expect-send string
for the 'rlogin foo.umich.edu' command, check your documentation on that one.
