----------
Although I don't use 7.0, I do see similar symptoms under 6.5.  It
seems that the stty command works, but as soon as stty closes the
device, it goes back to normal.  What I do is use two windows.  One
opens the device for I/O, the other issues the stty command.  Example:

[in first window]
$ cat > /dev/tty

[cat opens /dev/tty and waits for input]
[in second window]
$ stty [some mode] < /dev/tty

[stty changes device and exits]

Stuff typed into the first window should now be sent/received at the
requested mode.

Hope this helps.
