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.
