I just went through this.  When I upgraded to Sun OS 4.1.1 I could no longer
login to any systems based on PC's!

I had to change my outgoing STTY setup to fix it.  You are on the right
track.  It took me days to finally figure out I had to setup as 8Z1
to make it work.  Here is the Dialers entry for hayes that I ended up
with:

[This is all one line, I split it for readability and transportibility.]
hayes	=,-,	"" STTY=cs8 "" STTY=-cstopb "" P_ZERO ""
\dA\pTE1V1X1Q0S2=255S12=255\r\c OK\r \EATDT\T\r\c CONNECT

I found it was important to set the STTY before dialing.  With this
entry everything works as before.  If anyone can explain it, I'd love
to know.
