  8N1 is the correct default for SysV. BSD sites should set no parity in
the L.sys file before calling. I *think* the magic work is P_NONE, but
please look it up. Sixhub gets calls from 34 sites, so I think it's fair
to say that it works. You now need BREAK to autobaud, the 2.2 getty
seemed to shift from a higher to lower speed in RETURN, but the 2.3
version doesn't. I'd scrap the "improvement" if I didn't need dialout on
the same line.
