Uhhh - no, I don't.  I just want getty to work as it's documented.

The documentation specifies that the 'SANE' mode enables some tty
flags.  In examining the flags set while getty/login is executing
(ie, at all stages) I find that either the documentation is in 
error or that getty/login is failing.

I don't want 7 data bits, even parity, even though that might enable
a Sun4 to login, I want 8 data bits, no parity, high bit stripped.
Just like the documentation say it's running.  That's all.  Try 
looking at the status of ISTRIP, read the gettydefs documentation
and tell me that getty is working correctly.  Then try to add 
ISTRIP to the gettydefs and see if there's a change.

Then fix getty.
