	G'day...

	OK.. All I want to do is set the serial port login to
	8 data bit no parity 1 stop bit.. no a big request huh?

	I cannot for the life of me see any possible way in:
	gettytab, ttys or termcap to do such a change.
	It always starts up in 7E1 and then the person logging in
	must change (once their logged in) that parameters
	using 'stty -parity'.  stty fixes it perfectly.. but cant
	be used before login? can it?

	Thanx...

	-Christopher Kuperman.
