Has anyone else seen this problem?!?!?!?
We use Procomm 2.4.2 on several PCs both in plant and at home to log into the
Apollo over a serial line.  It appears that when we first get the login
prompt the parity is screwed up.  We have it set to 8 bits, no parity and 1
stop bit.  We get garbled text on the screen for the login prompt at first.
However, after we enter the username the "Password:" prompt comes up OK and
everythings fine after that.  When we log out and the getty is restarted
we're back to garbage for the login prompt again.  We also have some Wyse
terminals emulating a VT100 and they don't have this problem.

Has anyone else seen this?  What's the solution?

No need to respond NCR Wichita.  I know you're having the problem too.
