I doubt that it can be made to also autobaud on ^C without being able to
hack on the source.  However it already does work fine (with one complaint)
autobauding on a carriage return.

About that one complaint: I did minor amount of hacking on the source myself.
After 5 seconds it times out and goes to 9600 baud.  This may have been okay
on the original micom portselecter but is a bad move when using it to autobaud
on a modem.  A lot of our uucp partners were having trouble connecting when
the hunt group put them on our Hayes 2400 which uses getty autobauding.  I
fixed it by simply commenting out the timeout.
