Well, it din't work much for me: my terminal appear to be 7E1 at login, and is messed up to 7N1 after vi/more/... Since the login process runs 7E1, setting terminal as sw 8N1 in .login requires me to change the hw setup accordingly - how can I tell getty to run 8N1 ? BTW, using 'stty cs7 parenb -parodd' in .login, didn't work either. |>Can anyone report to me that they are actually using a terminal on the |>serial ports and using vi(elvis) or more ?
