Oh no, what a silly work! This is not would i'd like to say. We have
some Data General workstations here. Already years ago, in their
previous system release (heavily based on 4.3BSD), they've arranged
it to support both terminal interface ioctl sets, BSD and termio.
Though there hasn't been support for setting cs8/cs7 from the BSD
ioctl's, intermixing both sets didn't cause the trouble we're seeing
now on 386BSD. If 8-bit has been set, it still remained set even
if someone used sgtty() meanwhile. That's what i would like to see.
Would help to install even older sources that are stuck with sgtty
without having much porting work.
