On SunOS 4.0.3 (and probably the rest too), if you have installed
/usr/5bin then use:

			speed=`/usr/5bin/stty speed`

in your shell scripts.  This works.

By the way, the SUN manuals point out quite clearly that

	"the settings are reported on the standard error."

for /bin/stty, and

	"the settings are reported on the standard output"

for /usr/5bin/stty.

Be sure to re-read the manual to check that the different versions
apply to the device you want.  ie /bin/stty sets/reports the stdout device,
whilst /usr/5bin/stty sets/reports the stdin device.

Hope this is of some use to you...
