Apparently, there are some bugs in the new release of Microport.  The new
version of getty has trouble with 8 bit transfers (specifically, sane
now sets CS7).  To see if this is the case, manually do a uucico with debug
level set to 5 (-x5) if you are originating the call.  If the other end is,
have them do the uucico -x5 -s<system>.  This will display all the data on 
the screen that is transferred in either direction.  In the case that I'm 
familiar with, the login prompt was fine, but 7 bit even parity was set 
before the password prompt was sent.  The fix in our case (until Microport 
comes across), is that the Microport system will be doing the polling.  The
problem only showed up on termination, when the broken getty got in the way.
