SANE contains all manner of bits you may not need. Try not using SANE but listing the modes individually. The System V we have here does not all you to remove modes with -CLOCAL [ a problem with SANE is that it may turn off modem control for modems or turn it on for hardwired terminals ] so we list the flags out the long way. Once you have written a new gettydef you will need to see if you are getting the correct flags by compiling the gettydefs file. Use the '-c' option to getty to check the flags which are going to be used. This will save you the effort of calling yourself on the phone. -- John F.
