I'm not exactly sure, but I believe you need the 'np' setting
in your gettytab.  (no parity)  The 'ap' that's in the default
just didn't cut it on my terminal (a zenith z-49)  I imagine
I f**ked something up, but using 'np' made it work..
Now I need to figure out how to turn off the XON/XOFF for my
terminal..
