Unix PC incapable of generating even-parity CR?

Pardon me if I am mistaken but I am inclined to the opinion that 
the AT&T Unix PC for all its worthy aspects is really incapable
of sending a carriage return with parity bit set.  

I have attempted many times since acquiring the UNIX PC to connect
with another system using the following command or one like unto it:

	cu -l/dev/ph0 -s1200 -e [number]

I've tried other variations, I've tried using 'stty' to set the 
terminal parity to even as well.  But whatever the settings, 
the system I'm trying to call never seems to receive a CR with 
even parity set, and so never adjusts its speed to concur with 
that of my system.  

This is a nuisance.  I can and do use 'kermit' for communications, 
but sometimes, I think, it would be helpful to simply use the 'cu'
system.  

I wondered if anyone had experience with this, and could advise me. 
I should perhaps note that I have the 'classical' version of the 
Unix PC software (version 2.00), being quite unwilling to pay the 
price which the company wants for higher versions. 

Thank you very much.
