I don't know about Bruce's friend's problem, but, mine is a completely
vanilla install, unmodified, straight from Netscape, using the Debian
install package. It is truly a _default_ install, it is indeed 8 bit,
but I don't know how to change it to other than 8 bit.
Please ask for what ever configuration files you m ight need to help me
and I'll send by private mail, rather than eat mailing list bandwidth.
