Is it possible to alter the settings on the Sun's serial ports (ttya &
ttyb) so that they default to 8 bits no parity rather than 7 bits even
parity.

Changing them once connected to them is possible using stty's, but not
desirable.

[[ How about setting that in /etc/gettytab?  Can't you just create another
getty type entry that uses the "p8" capability, then use that getty type
on the line?  See gettytab(8).  I've never tried it, so no guarantees.
