Another mail prompted me to look at my old perl code (I started writing a
Unix war dialler), and I found the info on doing parity conversion in the
same place.
Here is my source. Play with it if you like, but please let me know if you
find it useful, or enhance it in any way. (I'd appreciate patches :-)
