Using the "on secure" options in ttys has always worked for me. Cant help

This was a question of mine earlier this month, which some nice people told
me was because getty resets the line settings on the com port to cs7 and
parenb. (7 data bits and even parity.) This seems to happen no matter what
is in the gettytab file. All I did was put an stty in my .login file and
everything is cool now.
stty cs8 -parenb
