I am using GETTY, but what I need is a way to get the shell to run on
the serial port at the speed of the login.  GETTY does autobaud, but I
need the script that GETTY executes to give me a shell to get the shell
to run at the correct speed.  By default, AUX: uses the preferences setting,
not the setting that GETTY has autobauded to.
